Hostas are a mainstay of shade gardens. Notwithstanding the often showy flowers produced, hostas are primarily grown in shady areas for the ornamental excellence of their foliage. Very effective in groups or massed. Good background plant. Shady borders, shade gardens or woodland gardens.

- Mature Height : 1.5 to 3 Feet
- Mature Spread : 1.5 to 3 Feet
- Zone : 3 - 8
Attributes
- An ever-popular, classic hosta; large, ovate leaves have dark green margins
- Leaf centers emerge light green in the spring and become progressively more gold towards early summer; morning sun will enhance the gold color
- Forms a large mound of foliage, making it ideal as a specimen or in mass plantings
- Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
Due to limitations set by the Department of Agriculture, we are unable to ship certain plants and sizes to California.

Q: How do I track my shipment?
A: You will receive an email with a tracking number from FEDEX or USPS that will allow you to follow the progress of your delivery.
IMPORTANT:
FEDEX/USPS WILL LEAVE THE PLANTS AT YOUR DOORSTEP, AND IF LEFT OUTSIDE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. DURING THE HEAT OF THE SUMMERS OR COLD OF THE WINTERS, THE PLANT MAY BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. So kindly ensure someone is present to receive the plant and keep it in a safe, cool place as soon as possible.
Q: When will the plants be shipped?
A: Most of the time, you should receive your plants in 7–15 days. Plants are typically shipped on Monday or Tuesday after the purchase is received. To ensure that the plants arrive at your location within a week, we send the plants on Monday and Tuesday. Plants will not be pleased if they are left in the warehouses over the weekend because they are perishable goods.
(The shipping dates can be subject to changes, due to various extraneous circumstances-like weather)
Q: What happens if the plants perish, are defective, killed, damaged, or are sent the incorrect thing?
A: RETURNS AND REPLACEMENTS ARE AS EASY AS POSSIBLE WITH US. On the majority of our returns to Amazon and eBay, we provide free delivery credits and new items.
However, if there is anything wrong with the plant, please let us know as soon as possible (within two days of receiving the cargo), and if possible, give us some information and a few photos. Following evaluation, we will either send you a replacement plant within the following 15 to 30 days, at your request, or give a refund.
