Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Space 24–36 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch 2–3 inches deep.

Care Tips

Water consistently throughout the season. Monitor for slugs and snails. The gold-centered leaves with green margins are most vivid with some morning sun- the gold brightens with more light while deep shade dulls the color. Cut back all foliage in late fall. Divide every 4–5 years in spring if desired. Fertilize lightly in spring. One of the most widely recognized and long-established gold-centered hostas, valued for its reliable performance and bold, attractive coloring.
