Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hosta ‘June’ is a former Hosta of the Year winner! Exhibits pointed, chartreuse-yellow leaves with bluish-green edges. Displays lavender-blue flowers. Hostas, also called Plantain Lilies, grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils. A good partner for ferns. Although the flowers are attractive, Hostas are usually grown for their ornamental foliage.

The broad chartreuse yellow centers and narrow green edge gives this a unique look that stands out, which is our main criterion for selecting Hostas. There are just too many named look-alikes sold at outrageous prices in the Hosta world.
