It is best to keep areas around Hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. It grows well in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. Plant 'Journey's End' in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring the rich color out; too much sun will burn the leaves. This is a beautiful upright Hosta plant with great colors. 'Journey's End' needs lots of space to grow and spread since the ruffled leaves are quite large, measuring 14 inches long by 10 inches wide! * Large leaves * Clumping habit * Low maintenance
