Hosta ‘June’ is a beloved and award-winning variety, celebrated for its vibrant, variegated foliage and compact habit. This medium-sized forms a dense mound of heart-shaped leaves, each with a unique pattern of colors. In spring, the leaves emerge with wide, blue-green margins surrounding a chartreuse center. As the season progresses and with adequate sunlight, the centers transform into a luminous gold, creating a stunning contrast. ‘June’ is also known for its thick, slug-resistant leaves, making it a relatively low-maintenance choice for the shade garden. In mid to late summer, it produces elegant scapes of pale lavender flowers, adding a touch of delicate beauty to the display.

Planting and Care:

• Planting: Choose a location with partial to full shade. While ‘June’ tolerates full shade, its gold coloration is most vibrant with some morning sun or dappled sunlight. Ensure the soil is moist and well-drained. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth as the container. Space plants about 20 inches apart to allow for their mature spread.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting¹the leaves, which can increase the risk of fungal diseases.   1.www.dandmgardencentre.ie
