The Praying Hands Hosta is a unique and distinctive cultivar that stands out with its unusual upright, folded leaves that resemble hands clasped in prayer. This award-winning variety features dark green leaves with narrow gold margins, creating an elegant and sophisticated appearance in any shade garden. The tightly folded, rippled foliage grows in an upright vase-like form, making it perfect for both containers and garden beds.
Praying Hands Hosta is relatively low-maintenance and disease-resistant. Water regularly during the growing season, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring when new growth emerges. Remove spent flower stalks and yellowed foliage to maintain appearance. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Plant in spring or early fall in a location with partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the soil before backfilling. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature growth. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown.
For optimal growth, ensure good air circulation between plants and protect from direct afternoon sun. In late fall, cut back dead foliage to prevent disease and promote healthy spring growth. Divide plants every 4-5 years to maintain vigor and propagate new plants.
