Plant Care

Plant in a semi-shaded position in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Hosta 'Autumn Frost' prefers consistent moisture while actively growing, particularly during warm and dry weather. Protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent foliage damage. Apply an all-purpose fertiliser when new growth appears in spring to encourage healthy foliage development. Remove spent flower stems and damaged leaves as required. As the plant dies back during autumn, remove old foliage and mulch around the crown to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Protect emerging spring growth from snails and slugs.

Hosta 'Autumn Frost' is an outstanding shade-loving perennial, combining beautiful frosty blue-green foliage, creamy yellow margins and fragrant purple summer flowers to create a lush and elegant feature for shaded Australian gardens.
