High Society Hosta

Color-changing leaves on a small and tidy plant, the High Society Hosta (Hosta 'High Society') is a classy sport of the fantastic June Hosta! This compact beauty barely reaches 8 inches tall and 15 inches wide at maturity!

High Society emerges in spring with a narrow, yellow center and wide, powder blue-green margins for a unique and showy display! As the season progresses, the High Society does a wardrobe change, and the leaf centers widen and brighten to white!

Pale lavender flowers open just above the mound of foliage in late summer and attract plenty of winged socialites and gentlemen callers in the form of fancily dressed butterflies, bees, and Hummingbirds!

Small and slow growing, but is worth the wait, High Society is sure to make a fantastic specimen throughout USDA growing zone 3 to 9 landscapes in the shade! Staying small and tidy, Hosta forms neat fountain-like mounds that are impressively easy to grow for even the most novice or busiest gardeners!

Planting and Application:

This little compact beauty has the power to add a great amount of color to a small space! Being a small-sized Hosta, it is great for containers or the front of a border. High Society is a low-care perennial and is ideal for shady-positioned planter tubs and patio pots for container gardeners and balcony gardens! The cool coloration and eye-catching growth will decorate garden rooms with sculptural décor.

One of the most popular landscape uses for Hostas are as edging and in groupings throughout the shade garden! Basking in the shade of larger shrubs and trees, Hosta are lovely skirting and fringe, plus ideal facer plants at the bases of leggy plants and the shaded foot of a hedge or wall. Light up your shaded foundation sides, edge paths and walkways, or brighten garden edges to ease the transition between lawn and garden!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This low-care herbaceous Perennial is ideal for shady positions. Filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth and they appreciate the morning sun it will help to intensify the leaf colors, and need afternoon shade. Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch to the soil surface, especially in dry shade conditions. Deadhead Hostas as soon as the flowers fade for a tidy look, and in fall when these herbaceous Perennials die back from the cold, it's time to prune the mound clean and remove the dead foliage. Divide your Hosta every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
