Hosta 'Yellow River'

Hostas are popular, shade-loving plants, grown mainly for their beautiful foliage, although most varieties also have pretty, tubular flowers. Hosta leaves come in a wide range of shapes, colors, sizes, and textures, so there's a huge choice to suit you and your garden.

Hosta 'Yellow River' is a large hosta, bearing beautiful veined green leaves with yellow margins, which contrast beautifully with purple flowers from July to August. It's more tolerant of sun than other hostas, so is perfect for growing in a sunny or partially shaded border.

For best results, grow in partial shade, ideally with some morning sun to bring out the colour of the leaves. Hosta 'Yellow River' thrives in rich, moist soil with plenty of organic matter added to the soil before planting.
