Cultivation Instructions:

1. Planting: Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and cover seeds lightly with soil.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and provide a warm environment (60-70°F) for germination, which typically takes 2-4 weeks.

3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are established and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them to their final location in the garden, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.

4. Light: Purple Blue Hosta thrives in partial to full shade. Ensure it receives indirect sunlight for optimal growth and vibrant foliage.

5. Soil Type: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. Hosta prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH.

6. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

7. Fertilization: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.

8. Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to maintain plant appearance and encourage further blooming. Cut back foliage in late fall as the plant goes dormant.

9. Pest Control: Monitor for slugs and snails, which can damage the foliage. Use appropriate organic or chemical controls as needed.
