Sunlight
Stained Glass Hosta generally requires partial to full shade, making it tolerant of low light conditions. However, it can also handle some morning sunlight. It is important to avoid direct afternoon sun, as excessive sunlight can cause leaf scorching.
Watering
Stained Glass Hosta requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. It is important to water deeply, ensuring that the roots receive adequate moisture. However, it is equally important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
Fertilizing
Stained Glass Hosta plants require a balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). A slow-release fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 10-10-10 or 14-14-14 is typically suitable. Applying the fertilizer once in the spring

Awarded the prestigious Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society and the American Hosta Growers 2006 Hosta of the Year, Stained Glass Hosta forms a thick mound of bright golden-yellow foliage with dark green margins and prominent veins and produces stunning, sun-tolerant large pale lavender flowers in summer that add grace on top of the foliage.
The fragrant flowers and hosta foliage with prominent veining are top aesthetical winners, but Stained Glass Hosta is also low maintenance and easy to grow. Growing up to 1.5 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide, it's the perfect size for either a big or small garden.
Stained Glass Hosta grows best in partial shade to full shade and loves rich, moist, well-drained soils. It's more sun tolerant than most hostas, as long as it's provided with sufficient water, and accepts most types of soils and soil ph.
Roots can rot with too much fertilizer, so best to feed with a slow-release fertilizer. It also needs adequate air circulation. Water deeply during the first growing season.
Cut flower spikes back as they finish blooming to encourage new growth and groom plants by removing yellow or dead leaves.
Hosta Stained Glass makes a perfect addition to mass planting, bed, or border mixed planting, but also stands out as a specimen plant in a shade garden. It's also great for underplanting shrubs. Order yours from Shrubhub right away and add color to that shady border!
