Common Name: hosta Type: Herbaceous perennial Family: Asparagaceae Zone: 3 to 8 Height: 1.00 to 1.50 feet Spread: 2.00 to 3.00 feet Bloom Time: July to August Bloom Description: Pale lavender Sun: Part shade to full shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Low Flower: Showy Attracts: Hummingbirds Tolerate: Heavy Shade, Black Walnut Culture Easily grown in evenly moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Best in part shade (some morning sun or sun dappled conditions). Established plants have some tolerance for dry shade (particularly plants with thick leaves), but soils should never be allowed to dry out. Full size and quality form are best achieved with consistent moisture. Water is best applied directly to the soil beneath the leaves. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn. Division is usually easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl. Plant in locations protected from wind. Hostas are generally considered to be low-maintenance perennials. Noteworthy Characteristics Hosta is a genus of about 70 species of shade-loving, rhizomatous, clump-forming, herbaceous perennials which are native to open woodlands, woodland margins and glades in Japan, Korea, China and eastern Russia. Hostas are primarily grown for their ornamental foliage. Stalked, conspicuously-veined, often dense, basal leaves in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and textures rise up from a central rhizomatous crown to form a rounded to spreading mound of foliage. Bell or funnel-shaped flowers in terminal, mostly one-sided racemes bloom in late spring or summer atop vertical, unbranched, usually leafless but frequently bracted scapes which rise upward from the crown or rootstock to a point often well above the foliage mound. Genus name honors Austrian botanist Nicholas Thomas Host (1761-1834) and was first established in 1812. The genus was subsequently renamed in 1817 as Funkia in honor of botanist Heinrich Christian Funk under the belief at that time that Hosta was an invalid name. Hosta was finally reinstated as the genus name in 1905 by the International Botanical Congress. Funkia remains a popular common name today in some areas. An additional common name for plants in this genus is plantain lily (foliage is somewhat plantain-like and flowers are somewhat lily-like in some species). 'Mediovariegata' - The Mediovariegata Hosta is not just a plant; it's an investment in the beauty and health of your garden. Transform your shaded spaces into vibrant havens with this stunning perennial that brings both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits. Eye-Catching Foliage: This Hosta is a true showstopper with its lush green leaves adorned with crisp white stripes. This contrasting foliage adds a touch of sophistication and depth to your garden, making it stand out in any setting. Whether planted in borders, under trees, or in shaded corners, its twisting leaves create an interesting texture that draws the eye. Pollinator Magnet: In early summer, the Mediovariegata Hosta produces tall spathes of delicate purple flowers that not only look beautiful but also attract beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies. These blooms add an extra layer of interest and activity to your garden, promoting a healthy ecosystem. Uses Hostas are a mainstay of shade gardens. Notwithstanding the often showy flowers produced, hostas are primarily grown in shady areas for the ornamental excellence of their foliage. Very effective in groups or massed. Good background plant. Shady borders, shade gardens or woodland gardens.
