Water Hosta 'Birchwood Parky's Gold' regularly, but avoid overwatering or soggy soil, as this can cause root rot and other issues. Water deeply until water begins to run out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the container once a week. If the soil feels dry 1 to 2 inches below the surface, it needs more water. If the soil feels wet and cool, the Hosta 'Birchwood Parky's Gold' is receiving adequate water and can go longer between irrigations. Avoid getting water on the foliage, as this can encourage disease and pests.

Hosta 'Birchwood Parky's Gold' prefers bright, filtered sunlight for a minimum of 4 hours a day. These plants can tolerate some morning sun, but too much sun can cause them to wilt. It's best to place them in a location where they can receive indirect sunlight for the majority of the day, as direct sunlight during the hotter hours may cause their foliage to scorch. Additionally, in order to maintain their rich golden color, you'll want to make sure they get enough light in the summer months to keep their foliage vibrant.

Hosta 'Birchwood Parky's Gold' should be pruned in late winter or early spring just before new growth begins. They should only be lightly trimmed, removing dead, damaged, or crowded foliage to promote better air circulation. Any flowers that form should also be removed. Doing so will help the plant look its best throughout the gardening season and will help keep it healthy.
