Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Description | A classic hosta with big bold foliage that features a wide gold band of color along the leaf edges. The golden margins turn to a creamy white by midsummer. The thick foliage resists slug damage. Showy spikes of lavender flowers rise above the foliage in summer. An herbaceous perennial. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | Attracts Hummingbirds, Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Improved Pest and Disease Resistance, Attracts Pollinators |
| Problems/Solutions | Erosion Control |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Growth Habit | Clumping |
| Flower Attributes | Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Ground Cover |
| Design Ideas | Since this vigorous Hosta spreads out to three feet in diameter, a cluster of several will cover a surprising amount of ground. Its variegation is ideal for contrast with other foliage plants and creates illusions of sun dappling in shaded gardens. Plant in wide terra-cotta pots for the terrace, shaded patio or deck. Best under tree canopies, in northern exposures or as a filler in shaded shrub borders. A quick and reliable leafy beauty for fountains and in between rocks around water gardens. |
| Flower Color | Purple |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Coral Bells (Heuchera); Ligularia (Ligularia); Fuchsia (Fuchsia); Lungwort (Pulmonaria); Bleeding Heart (Dicentra) |
| Care Instructions | Provide slightly acidic, evenly moist, well-drained, humusy soil. Avoid harsh sun exposures. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Remove old, faded foliage before new leaves emerge in early spring. |
| History | Formerly known as and synonymous with Hosta fluctuans 'Variegated'. |
