Hosta 'Ground Sulphur' should be watered approximately once every week, although during periods of extreme heat or drought, the plants should be watered a few times more frequently. Make sure to deeply water the plants, allowing the soil to become completely saturated and then allowing it to dry out for a few days between waterings. To test the moisture levels of the soil, stick your finger into the top of the soil; if it feels dry, it's time to water. In winter, water less often, and allow the soil to dry out more between waterings. When applying fertilizer, use a moderate amount of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Apply once per month during the summer months.
