This large features heart-shaped leaves with a wide, creamy white margin that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant, blue-green center. Often, the white margin will have streaks or “flames” of the blue-green color extending into it, creating a dynamic and eye-catching effect. ‘Coast to Coast’ forms a substantial, mounding clump, making it a fantastic focal point in any shade garden.

Planting and Care:

• Planting: Choose a location with partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. 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 3 feet 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 wetting the leaves, which can increase the risk of fungal diseases.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid over-fertilizing.
• Mulching: Mulch around the plants with shredded bark, compost, or pine needles to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the crown.
• Pest and Disease Control: Be vigilant for slugs and snails, which can be a major threat tos. Use appropriate control measures like slug bait or traps. Virus X (HVX) is also a potential issue; purchase plants from reputable sources and discard any plants exhibiting symptoms of the virus.
• Division: Divide clumps every 3-5 years, or as needed, to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant. Division is best done in spring or fall.

Special Considerations:

• ‘Coast to Coast’ makes a striking focal point in shady borders, woodland gardens, or container plantings.
• Its bold foliage and substantial size create a dramatic presence in the landscape.
• It pairs well with other shade-loving plants, especially those with contrasting foliage colors and textures.
