watering
Hosta 'Golden Tiara' should be watered regularly, but it does not like to be soggy. Watering should be done when the top inch of soil is dry, or about twice a week. In the summer, you may need to water more often if temperatures get above 80 degrees or there is little rainfall. You should always water deeply -- water slowly until you see it draining from the bottom of the pot -- and then let the soil dry out completely before you water again.
sunlight
Hosta 'Golden Tiara' is an evergreen perennial, meaning it will stay green throughout the year, and requires plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil. In optimal conditions, Hosta 'Golden Tiara' will reach a height of 14-16 inches, with a spread of 24-36 inches. This plant species should receive partial sunlight throughout the day - ideally around 4-6 hours of bright morning sun with some afternoon shade to prevent scorching. If planted in an area with too little light, the foliage will become pale and stunted. Additionally, if placed in too much sunlight, the hosta's foliage will begin to yellow and, eventually, burn. If possible, choose a location that will provide some protection from strong, direct sunlight during the peak of the day (typically between the hours of 10am to 2pm). This will help to ensure that your Hosta 'Golden Tiara' receives its ideal sunlight amount and flourishes all season long.
pruning
Hosta 'Golden Tiara' should be pruned in early spring after new growth has begun to emerge. The best time to prune is when the new leaves are still small and narrow and before they start to unfurl into the leaf’s mature shape. Pruning should only be done lightly so as not to damage the foliage and reduce the plant’s aesthetic appeal. Remove any dead or damaged foliage, along with any flower stems to keep the plant’s appearance tidy. To keep the plant’s size compact, cut back the foliage by 1-third to 1-half, removing the tallest and oldest growth. Proper pruning of Hosta 'Golden Tiara' will help keep it healthy and vigorous.
