Remember Me Hosta

Hosta Remember Me (Hosta 'Remember Me') is named in honor of Sandy De Boer, a former employee of Walters Gardens Inc. who died of breast cancer in 2001. Walters Gardens Inc. makes a donation for every Remember Me Hosta to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Remember Me Hosta is a beautiful white-centered selection of the lovely little June Hosta. The small mounds of creamy white foliage with blue-green margins demonstrate many of the same outstanding qualities of June - like good slug resistance and thick healthy foliage.

Lavender flowers add additional beauty to this Hosta! Not only are they gorgeous in bouquets and floating over the bi-color leaves, but they also attract loads of pollinators, butterflies, and Hummingbirds to your yard! Incredibly easy to grow throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 9 and reach 12-15 inches in height and spread to 16 to 20 inches wide.

Planting and Application:

Remember Me are excellent perennials for smaller areas or in front of the border as edging. Great as facer plants and skirting where Hostas can bask in their shade under their canopies. Line shady paths and driveways, or add delightful bright color to shade gardens, beds, and borders throughout Perennial gardens, Cottage gardens, Zen-inspired gardens, Pollinator borders, and even in containers and large planters when no yard is available!

Remember Me is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as a specimen that lights up the gloom! Dappled shade beneath canopies of large trees, Moon gardens, and lighting up planters around covered porches and patios are all perfect locations for these bright foliage ornamentals.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration. Too much sun will burn the leaves. 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. It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. Low maintenance and easy care, there's not much work for you! A generous 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch chips helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Once frosts arrive, Hostas are herbaceous Perennials that dies back to the ground and emerges again in early spring. Be sure to remove dead leaf matter from the area to prevent the spread of fungal issues and deter slugs. But it has excellent slug resistance and no disease issues! Divide every 3-5 years to keep the clump vigorous.

Remember Me Hosta honors not only Sandy, but the thousands who also fight this life-threatening disease every day!
