It is recommended that Hosta 'Wolverine' be watered deeply and regularly, about once or twice a week. Be sure to soak the soil, without overwatering, so that the water reaches down around 6 inches. You should also keep an eye on the soil and water accordingly if the top 2 inches of the soil is dry. Make sure to water the foliage during dry periods to reduce wilting. It is important to be mindful of heavy rain fall, adjust the frequency and amount of water as necessary. At all times, it is essential to avoid saturating the soil.

Hosta 'Wolverine' does best in partial sun or dappled shade so it should receive morning sun and then some protection from the hot afternoon sunlight. Depending on where it is growing, Hosta 'Wolverine' should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day but no more than 6 hours. During the summer months, it is best to move the plant to a more shaded area if it is placed in direct sunlight for the entire day. This ensures it gets the right balance in order to stay healthy and continuously bloom.

When it comes to pruning Hosta 'Wolverine', it’s best to do so in the early spring (after any potential frost) before new growth begins. This will ensure the plant has enough energy and time to produce healthy foliage for the season. As far as the amount of pruning, it is best to cut back just enough to give the plant an aesthetically pleasing shape. Remove large, brown, discolored, or dead foliage, as well as those crossed, or too close together (which can limit air circulation). Prune just until only the top few leaves remain.
