Product Description
Details

Hosta 'Maple Leaf' is an older cultivar. Center of the leaf is green to blue-green and yellow leaf margin to white-cream. Hosta 'Francess Williams' shape which it comes from. Intensity of colouring depends on the habitat in which it is grown. From the mother cultivar differs slightly with higher tolerance to the sun and the wider yellow border. Its tolerance to the sun but still not too high so it needs to be put more into the shade. If you have more sunny place and wants to have this type of hostas, prefer slightly larger, hosta 'Olive Bailey Landgon'. Snails and slug resistant, but not against very hungry one. The originator "Eldren Minks" was president of AHS. He passed away in 2004. 

How to grow hostas

Save light shade to shade place in your garden to plant hostas. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full color contrast. The green and blue hostas are the most shade-tolerant. Usually the yellow cultivars are the most sun-tolerant. The most dangerous is a direct sunshine, especially hot afternoon sun. This is the most critical where temperatures are high. Variegated varieties, especially those with a lot of white in the leaves, burn very easily. Blue color of leaves turns to green-blue or even fully green with too much direct sun. Plants with thick leaves are better suited for dry soil conditions than thin-leaved ones, but none is able to grow years-long in very dry soil. Plant hostas in moist, humus-rich soil.

Water your hostas well immediately as you plant them. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing season.

Hostas grow slowly and may take 2 to 5 years to reach their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Reserve a plenty of space in your perennial bed for hostas. Most of them are medium sized or large perennials. Hostas are almost fully disease and pest resistant. The most dangerous injury can by caused by slugs, snails and deers.
