watering
Hosta 'Fragrant Blue' should be watered every 4-5 days, using about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per session. Make sure the soil is slightly moist, not soggy. Water in the morning or early in the day to allow the foliage to dry completely. In summer months, water may be needed more often. During dormancy (winter months) watering should be reduced.
sunlight
The Hosta 'Fragrant Blue' plant requires partial to full sunlight in order to thrive. This means that it should receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. It is important to make sure that the Hosta's leaves don't burn in the direct sunlight, so it is best to ensure that it has a few hours of shade each day. When the weather is hot, it's best to move the Hosta to a shadier spot in the garden. The Hosta will also be happiest if its roots are in the shade and its leaves are in the sun.
pruning
Hosta 'Fragrant Blue' should be pruned once per year in early spring while the plant is still dormant, before new growth appears. Begin by snipping off the dead foliage and flower stalks down to the base of the plant. Remove all of the yellow and brown foliage with a pair of sharp shears. You can also trim off any patches of overgrown foliage that look misshapen or out of place. Once you have finished pruning, water and fertilize the plant to encourage new growth.
