Hosta June
2001 Hosta Of The Year
Steel blue leaves with streaky chartreuse centers emerge in spring. As the leaves mature, the centers fade to creamy yellow. The color combination gives off a showy saturated effect. The best color effect is achieved with some strong morning sun. Thick, slightly puckered leaves are extremely slug-resistant. Lavender flowers on tall scapes in summer.
Hostas are excellent shade perennials that require minimal care. They are lovely massed in woodland settings or used as specimens. With their weed-smothering foliage, they make ideal ground covers. Although they are tough plants that can withstand periods of drought, for best results, keep well watered during dry spells.
Designated the 2001 Hosta Of The Year by the American Hosta Growers Association.
Winner of the American Hosta Society Hosta Popularity Poll, an award given to the hosta voted the favorite of the majority of AHS members in an annual poll.
Plant Hostas in soil that has been amended with organic matter, in shade to part shade.
