Big and beautiful Journey's End Hosta (Hosta 'Journey's End') is an impressive sport of the Hosta 'Choo Choo Train' that forms big foliage mounds that can reach 5 to 6-foot wide clumps! The exquisite leaf form and good substance make Journey's End a garden must for filling large areas in two-tone color all growing season long!
The large, yellow-gold leaves have a wavy dark green stripe along the margin and are filled with multiple shades of green. The pointed oval shape of the slightly textured leaves gives this plant added interest!
Pale lavender, nearly white, tubular flowers bloom in June and July and call butterflies and Hummingbirds to come relish in the tall scapes.
Journey's End is a low-care herbaceous perennial and is ideal for shady locations throughout the USDA growing zones 3 to 9, and is one of the most popular for wide-spreading brilliant colors that stay just 1-2 feet in height at maturity!
Planting and Application:
This is a beautiful upright Hosta plant with great colors that light up the shade garden and works great beneath larger shrubs and trees without worry. Journey's End needs lots of space to grow and spread since the ruffled leaves are quite large, measuring 14 inches long by 10 inches wide each! Create leafy skirts and facer plantings along larger hedges or hide the bare, leggy stems of older shrubs.
These are big specimen plants that bulk up a front yard garden or add color to the mixed Perennial border! Create a low anchor planting by your front steps or plant one of these big Hosta right at the base of a flag pole or on either side of a garden bench for a grand show!
- Large Multi-Hued Light & Dark Green Leaves
- Wide-Spreading Low-Growing Upright Mounds
- Pale Lavender Flowers in Summer
- Pollinator & Hummingbird Friendly Trumpet-Shaped Blooms
- Big Color & Coverage Throughout Shaded Garden Locations!
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant perennials like Journey's End in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring the rich color out; too much sun will burn the leaves. It grows well 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 and drainage for the roots. It is best to keep areas around Hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. So prune back your plants as soon as the frost has killed back the foliage for the year. Top-dress with a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch for an added layer of protection.
