To plant Hosta 'Wheee', look for the following exposure: partial to full shade and suitable soil (kept moist, Clayey). For Hosta 'Wheee', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must retain its freshness. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (partial to full shade) does not eliminate the need for water.

The indicated hardiness zone is 3, to be evaluated according to your garden's conditions.
Throughout the seasons, Hosta 'Wheee' benefits from timely care: monitor new leaves for slugs and wait for complete yellowing before removing the foliage at the end of the season. Under trees, neighboring roots can dry out the soil despite the shade; check the moisture level of the hosta's root ball.
