Hosta 'High Society' prefers moist but well-drained soil, so it's important to water it properly. Aim to water your Hosta 'High Society' once a week, adding water slowly until the soil is moist but not soggy. During hot, dry weather, water every 3-4 days. Avoid getting the foliage wet, as this increases the risk of powdery mildew. In the winter months, reduce watering to make sure the soil remains lightly moist.

Hosta 'High Society' is best grown in partial to full shade and prefers at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. When grown in full sun, the leaves may become bleached or sunburned, so it's important to site the plant carefully in a partially shaded location. If it gets more than 4 hours of direct sunlight a day, it's recommended to provide some additional shade or use reflective mulches or tree canopies to help protect the plant from excess sun exposure.

Hosta 'High Society' should be pruned once a year in late summer or early fall, after blooming has concluded. Be sure to prune only the dead leaves and faded flower stalks, and leave the healthy leaves and stems. Start pruning corectly by cutting back the leaves and flower stalks to the crown of the plant, then take care to remove any yellow or dead leaves. Trim the spent flowers and the seed heads near the crown of the plant. Lastly, use sharp pruning shears to remove any scraggly stalks. Be sure not to prune away any healthy foliage as this could damage the plant.
