Vulcan Hosta - Shade Plant 24" Tall

Vulcan Hosta The Hosta Francee plant is a premier shade plant for the southeast. Most notable for their foliage, hostas will thrive in damp, shaded areas where nothing else will. Use along ponds, woodlands, or in the border. Height listed corresponds to average foliage height; flowers will generally be 12 to 24 inches taller than foliage height.

Plant hostas in evenly moist, humus-rich soil in light to full shade. Hostas are tough, versatile, and adaptable. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full potential, especially gold and blue forms.

Hostas emerge late in the season but quickly unfurl to fill their allotted space. They grow slowly and may take two to four years to attain their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Allow plenty of room when you plant to accommodate for their mature size. Small varieties spread three times as wide as they are tall. Medium-size varieties spread twice their height, and the larger varieties are at least as wide as they are tall.

Height 18 Inches
