June Hosta
Easy Going Standout in the Shade Garden
Hosta lovers and gardening newbies - don't miss this sweet selection for your shady spots. June Hosta is an award winner, thank you very much. Selected by the American Hosta Growers as the "Hosta of the Year 2001", this brightly colored plant can become the backbone of your partial shade garden bed.
As a rule of thumb, Hostas look much better when planted in a loose, "organic" open curve that winds its way along the front of your garden bed. In just a year or two, you'll be amazed at how much brighter that area looks.
This is a medium sized Hosta, which grows in tidy clumps. June features deeply variegated leaves painted with colors from blue-green to gold and lime green. Because of their dramatic coloring, select June to play the role of "Superstar" in your shade garden bed.
Pair June with supporting actors from the Hosta family. Contrast it with larger leaved selections, such as Empress Wu. Play off the dark green foliage of Regal Splendor or pick out the brightest color by partnering with the chartreuse green of August Moon.
Hostas are such wonderful plants. Order your June Hostas today!
