HOSTA--FERTILIZING
Hostas require little or no fertilizing. In fact,
over fertilizing can be detrimental to some of the variegated types, causing
the colors to fade.
If plants are slow to develop and multiply, decomposed
manure can be incorporated into the soil around clump.
A teaspoon of 10-10-10, 12-12-12 or 15-15-15 fertilizer
per clump will provide the necessary nutrients for yearly growth.
