About this deal

When planting white feather hosta, it is important to choose a location in full shade. The plant also prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is hardy in zones 3 through 9. White Feather Hostas can grow to be about 18-20 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide. Be sure to prepare the soil for the hosta prior to planting. Sunlight requirements for White Feather hosta Hosta ‘Forbidden Fruit’ is another artistic marvel. It has a large inner portion of its leaf that ranges from a creamy lemon yellow, to light lime green (the same plant can feature some leaves having light green and some with lemony yellow), that is brush stroked into an irregular dark green margin. The foliage is so pretty, I use this one in pots, or in the front of beds where people can really take the time to appreciate its beauty. Abiqua Drinking Gourd Another beautiful green variety is the abiqua drinking gourd.

Though mainly known for their attractive foliage, the plants also produce lovely flowers from early summer to early fall in pink, lavender, light blue, or white. Hummingbirds and other pollinators love the flowers, and the flowers may even be fragrant, depending on thevariety. I’d recommend planting Farfugium japonicum and your chosen hosta in a large container that can then be moved to a warmer location before the first frost hits – either indoors or in a heated greenhouse. 7) Siberian Bugloss Note: While all of these Hostas will survive in the sun, they will do better if they get some shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, especially if you live in the South.They’re easy to grow and they thrive in the shade. ( You can find out more about growing Hostas HERE.) Many hosta cultivars have nice color in fall, so let them thrive until they start to suffer fromfrosts. Hosta undulata ‘Mediovariegata’– medium Hosta that grows to 18″ tall and 36″ wide with beautiful two-toned green leaves and a bright white stripe down the middle ( Buy it here*) Forget-me-nots are cottage garden favourites and are beloved by gardeners in the UK because of their low-maintenance nature once planted. Because it doesn’t have much chlorophyll (what makes the plant green and is vital for photosynthesis), hosta ‘White Feather’ isn’t able to produce as much energy and is therefore a very slow growing variety.

Avoid planting variegated hostas in full sun as this will cause burns. The white tissue of variegated hostas is very easily damaged by the sun, so they should only receive mild sun in the morning. Barry Ankney, from the American Hosta Society, previously owned a specialist hosta nursery and shared an extensive list of his favourites: ‘Autumn Frost’ Sum and Substance– giant Hosta growing to 30″ high and 60″ wide with brilliant yellow, slug-resistant leaves and fragrant white flowers that does quite well in the sun. American Hosta Growers Hosta of the Year 2004. ( Find it here*)Hosta lovers won’t be able to ignore the Icy Halo variety. First, the plant stands out because of its color: its big, round, gray-green leaves are edged with a thin white thread.

Some have very fragrant flowers, many will attract hummingbirds, and most have gorgeous leaves that will add color to your garden from spring to fall.

These honey-scented blooms cascade between the glossy green leaves and are great for attracting pollinators to your garden. In general, giant hostas work well in extensive gardens or places where you need to fill ample space. With a unique look, the Designer Genes Hosta’s name is very apt. Adorned with golden yellow leaves that grow lighter as the season progresses, this plant looks glossy from above and matte under the leaves. 24. Earth Angel
