Hosta Aurea Marginata

Large heart shaped leaves of over 20cm in length. A fast growing variety, the foliage is predominantly dark green, with irregular and attractive golden margins on all the leaves. Clusters of pale lavender flowers appear in the summer. Supplied as bare root division

Planting Instructions

Hosta’s are shade loving plants that are great for brightening up the dull corners of the garden. So these must be planted out of direct afternoon sunlight. These are tough plants, but they prefer heavy soils, and are happy to sit in moist conditions, so they must never be allowed to dry out, especially if growing in containers

Prior to planting, it is best to soak the division for 3-4 hours

Plenty of space should be given to the bare root when planting to allow space for the plant to thrive - I would suggest around 18-24” (45-60cm) from any other plant in the border. Dig a generous sized hole, with the crown a few inches below the soil surface, then backfill. Water in well, and ensure the plant has plenty of water in its first season to allow it to establish
