About the Hosta - Gold
Standard :
The Hosta 'Gold Standard', Hosta fortunei, has
heart-shaped large broad leaves with creamy yellow
and variable dark green margins. The pinkish,
lavender flowers bloom from July to August, however,
Hosta’s are not known only for their flowers. With a
plant height of 24” and a spread of 36-48”, Hosta’s
provide bright color in shade with wonderful
foliage.
Hosta ‘Gold Standard’ needs to be planted in a
full shade area in any moist, well-drained area.
Hosta ‘Gold Standard’ was an American Hosta Society
multiple winner, and one can see why. This low care
perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and
patio pots, and one of the most popular for
landscape uses. A great choice for any beginner
gardener.
