Hosta Aureo marginata
Hosta Aureo marginata
Green leaves are edged in golden-yellow, giving shaded gardens a neat, professional look. A popular, easy-to-grow variety, Hosta Aureo marginata grows 18-24" tall with fragrant, bell-shaped purple flowers that open above the foliage in midsummer to early fall. It's ideal for naturalizing, providing sparkling color for years. Hosta lilies, sometimes called "Plantain" or "Heart Lilies," are some of the best perennials for shade and woodland gardens. These shade-loving perennials are tolerant of a wide variety of soil types, but prefer well-drained soil.

- Q
When should i plant these in zone 6 Mid Kansas. Can i wait until spring
- Asked by Princess
- Verified Reply - AngelaIf you receive the Hosta Aureo marginata in the fall, they should be planted in the fall. They won't hold out of soil over winter. You will want to plant them when they arrive and apply a thick layer of mulch once the ground approaches freezing. This will help prevent heaving out of the ground due to alternate freeze thaw cycles.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If these ship in the Fall of 2024, can they be planted then in a cooler climate - Zone 5b?
- Asked by ctmcnally
- Verified Reply - AngelaYou can plant hostas in the fall in zone 5b. I would suggest applying a thick layer of mulch over the planting site when the ground approaches freezing. This will help prevent heaving from alternate freeze and thaw cycles. Just remember to pull back the mulch in the spring to allow new growth.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I don't understand your terms one eye or two eye
- Asked by Bill
- Verified Reply - ViciAn eye is a sprout that comes off of the root. Each eye produces a stem for the plant. Once the root is planted it will sprout from that eye and each year that the root gets older it will have more eyes producing a larger plant each year that can be divided in about 4 years.Was this answer helpful to you
