watering
Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' require regular and consistent watering. Water deeply when the soil feels dry to the touch. Generally, you should water once or twice a week. In the hot summer months, they may need to be watered more often. Make sure to avoid waterlogging as this can cause root rot. To check if they need water, stick your finger about 1 inch into the soil. If the soil is still moistened all the way down, they don't need water yet.
sunlight
Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' prefers to grow in partial shade to full shade. It can tolerate some morning sun but requires the shade of trees, walls, or shrubs in the afternoon. The plant may yellow and suffer from scorching in full sun. For best growth, it should receive dappled sun throughout the day, or at least 4 to 5 hours of filtered sun daily.
pruning
Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' should be pruned in early spring before new growth begins to occur. To prune, gently remove any spent flower scapes and dead foliage. Trim away any dead or wilted leaves and stems to encourage new growth. Be sure to only remove the dead material, as cutting away live leaves and stems may damage the plant. It is not necessary to prune heavily each year. Light pruning should take place every couple of years, and selective pruning can be done each spring.
