Description: Planting When planted at the right site, unique effects can be achieved with Plantain lilies. With plant neighbours such as false Spirea, Rattle Root, Astilbes or beside shaded grasses and ferns. Also as a sub planting under trees and shrubs such as e.g. Rhododendron and in combination with early blooming onion flowers and other Hosta varieties, these leaf beauties make a very good figure. They can be planted both in the bed and in the bucket. planting after the ice saints, from mid-mayloosen the soil in the planting area up well and fold in some composttrench a planting hole, that should be as large as the root-balesdeploy the Hosta as far into so that the upper part of the root Bale closes up with the Earth’s surfacefill seeding hole with soil, press on the soil and water thoroughlyensure good drainage for bucket plantingWateringDepending on the nature of the soil, these extraordinary decorative leaf forbs should be watered moderately. More frequent on very hot days. The floor should never be too dry and not completely dry in no case. It is advisable in summer to water exclusively in the early morning hours or in the evenings. In addition, if possible, it shouldn’t be watered over the leaves to avoid combustion. A layer of mulch ensures that the moisture remains longer in the soil and prevents excessive weed growth. Even if this plant loves moist soils, it does not like any accumulating wetness. This applies both to Hostas in the bed and pot cultivated specimens. FertilisingUnlike to the water requirements, the Hostas need for nutrients is not particularly high. To cover it, it is usually sufficient directly while planting and then each in springtime to put compost around the plants, before the start of the proliferation, and slightly work it in into the soil. If necessary a second fertilisation with organic fertilizer, for example horn shavings, immediately after the bloom can be meaningful. CuttingThere is no proper cut for the Plantain lilies as they are known for example from woody perennials and other plants. These plants belong to the summer green plants, i.e., the leaves are extremely cold-sensitive and already beginning to turn yellow in the autumn and completely rot in winter. Even if the rotten leaves don’t look particularly beautiful, they should be left on the plant until the next spring. This has the reason that it will serve as an additional winter protection and to the other numerous microorganisms as a shelter in the winter. Right before the new shoot, you can remove the dried foliage.
