Hosta 'August Moon'
Common Name: August Moon Hosta
Hosta ‘August Moon’ — commonly known as August Moon Hosta — is a large perennial prized for its broad heart-shaped golden-yellow leaves that brighten shaded gardens from spring through summer. The foliage emerges chartreuse and deepens to rich gold with increased light, forming a substantial mound with gently corrugated texture. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal contrast. Type: Herbaceous perennial Mature Size: Width: 4–5 ft Height: 2–2.5 ft USDA Zones: 3a–8b Form: Large, rounded mounded clump Light: Partial shade to full shade; tolerates morning sun for strongest gold color Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained soil with organic matter Water: Moderate; prefers consistent moisture Wildlife: Flowers attract hummingbirds and bees Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for woodland gardens, shade borders, specimen planting, and massing where bold foliage color is desired. Golden foliage provides strong contrast with blue and dark green hostas. Care: Maintain even soil moisture during dry periods to prevent leaf scorch. Divide in spring or early fall when clumps become crowded. Remove spent flower stalks after flowering. 🌿🌕
