To plant Hosta ‘Niagara Falls’, look for the following exposure: partial shade and a suitable soil (kept moist, Clayey). For Hosta ‘Niagara Falls’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust the water supply according to rainfall; this exposure (partial shade) does not eliminate the need for water.
