Product Description
Details

Hosta 'Minutemann' was registered in 1994 as a sport of 'France'. It is different but also very similar to cultivar 'Patriot'. The leaves are dark green with white creamy white border. Oval to heart-shaped leaves. On the surface of the leaves are shiny, on the underside are mat. This is almost all the season round very nice hosta, but in the spring this is the eye catcher. Very nice green – white contrast. Excellent perennial. Medium/large. 

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.

Vlastním druhým rokom. Už prvý rok vytvorila pekný malý trs a tento rok je už raz tak veľký. Farba nesklamala .Výrazný kontrast bielej a hlbokej zelenej vyniká ako v polotieni, tak aj keď je na pár hodín denne na slnku. Review by hostalover (Posted on 6/4/19)
