Hosta 'Rainbow's End' is an adorable, small variety that is perfect for small spaces in the garden. The foliage is yellow with broad deep green margins that appear once mature and forms a compact clump of thick, distinctly cupped leaves. The centers of the leaves are chartreuse in the centers and then lighten to white as the season progresses. In early to mid-summer, light purple flowers appear atop the tall scapes.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content and slightly acidic to neutral pH. They prefer slightly sandy soil over heavy clays as they need aeration for the roots. Grow in high-filtered or dappled sunlight--they can tolerate morning sun but not hot afternoon sun. Hostas are prone to slugs and deer browsing, though some kinds with thicker foliage may not be damaged as badly. Apply slug bait in early spring before the leaves have unfurled to prevent damage. Divide large clumps, if necessary, in spring when sprouts appear, or late summer. Remove dead foliage from the garden in late fall to early winter.
