Hosta 'June'

Common Name: Hosta, June Plantain Lily, Plantain Lily

Hosta 'June' — a highly prized medium-sized variegated hosta known for its blue-green margins surrounding luminous chartreuse to gold centers that brighten through the season. The thick, slightly puckered leaves form a tidy mound and often show subtle color shifts depending on light exposure, making each clump especially attractive. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding delicate seasonal interest. Type: Perennial Mature Size: Width: 28–36 in Height: 14–18 in (to ~24 in in flower) USDA Zones: 3a–8b Form: Dense, rounded mound Light: Partial shade to full shade; morning sun enhances center color Soil: Moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter Water: Moderate; prefers evenly moist soil Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds and bees Features & Landscape Uses: A standout hosta for woodland gardens, borders, edging, and specimen planting. Its striking blue-and-gold foliage pairs exceptionally well with darker green hostas, ferns, and other shade perennials. Thick leaves provide good slug resistance. Care: Provide consistent moisture and mulch annually to keep roots cool. Morning sun can intensify the gold center, but avoid strong afternoon heat. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed. 🌿
