August Moon Hosta

About this plant

Hosta 'August Moon' is a highly prized Plantain Lily celebrated for its large, crinkled, heart-shaped leaves that emerge a captivating chartreuse in spring, gradually maturing to a brilliant golden-yellow in summer. This robust and reliable cultivar boasts an upright, mounding habit, creating a lush and striking focal point in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or container plantings. In mid-summer, elegant stalks rise above the foliage, adorned with delicate, bell-shaped lavender flowers that add a touch of grace. Known for its exceptional vigor and sun tolerance compared to many other hostas, 'August Moon' brightens even the deepest shade, offering long-lasting color and textural interest throughout the growing season. It's an excellent choice for creating a vibrant, low-maintenance landscape.

Care & maintenance

Hostas are generally low-maintenance plants. Provide rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring. Slugs and snails can be a common pest; monitor and treat if necessary. Divide clumps every few years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
