The the Hosta tardiana should be grown outdoors; it can bear very harsh temperatures without any problems, even many degrees below zero. It is advisable to position this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce. Watering Hosta tardiana

During this period of the year the the Hosta tardiana needs regular watering, which should be done letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let’s irrigate every 1-2 weeks with about 2-3 glasses of water . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them. Treatments Hosta tardiana
