How to grow Hosta 'Praying Hands' in NZ

Hosta 'Praying Hands' grows best in partial to full shade with moist, well drained soil rich in organic matter. In NZ, it performs well in sheltered positions protected from strong sun and drying winds. Prepare the soil with compost before planting to improve structure and moisture retention. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during warmer months. Mulching helps maintain even moisture levels and keeps the roots cool.

Remove any damaged or old leaves to keep the plant tidy. Watch for slugs and snails, which can damage the foliage.
