While hostas produce flowers, they're mostly grown for their bold foliage. Hosta 'Sunshine Glory' are full hardy plants can be grown under deep-rooted trees as ground cover, in borders, or even near water. They grow best in moist, but well-drained soil and most prefer shade with shelter from cold winds.
For the lushest displays, feed with a balanced fertiliser between March and June. Don't feed after this period or you'll encourage the sort of sappy growth that slugs adore. Prevent the leaves looking like a piece of lace by taking measures against slugs and snails, such as beer traps. Hosta 'Sunshine Glory' produces green leaves with broad white margins.
