hosta

Hosta 'Pizzazz' is a species of perennial flower that prefers medium to wet moist soils and thrives in full or partial shade. For best results, water your Hosta 'Pizzazz' deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During the spring and summer, water the plant once or twice a week to keep the soil lightly moist. In the fall and winter, reduce the frequency of waterings to once every 2 weeks. Make sure not to leave the roots saturated for an extended period of time, as this can lead to root rot.

Hosta 'Pizzazz' grows best when provided with bright indirect light for no more than 4 hours a day. It prefers cooler temperatures, so direct sunlight or afternoon sun is best avoided to prevent scorching. The sun should be in the morning or early afternoon. Too much direct sunlight will cause the leaves to turn yellow and become pale. Place the plant in a bright area that receives morning sunlight, and move it to a slightly shadier area in the afternoon. This plant thrives in partial shade which can be achieved by providing it with dappled light. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures lower than 59°F, as it will not be able to handle the cold. In general, the more indirect and cooler the light, the better!

Hosta 'Pizzazz' should be lightly pruned during the spring and early summer months. Pruning should be done before the new shoots emerge in order to avoid wasting energy on pruned shoots. Pruning hostas is best done after flowering, when the leaves have fully grown. Remove any damaged or dead foliage, as well as any stalks or stems that are in the way. Be sure to leave the emerging stems at the base of the plant in order to encourage growth. Pruning hostas should involve shaping the plant in order to maintain a desired size or shape, but should not remove more than the top third or 1-third of the crown of the plant. Keeping in mind this guideline will allow for your hosta to thrive and give you long-lasting beauty.
