Hosta 'Warwick Comet'

Hosta 'Warwick Comet' forms a lovely mound of cupped blue-green leaves with golden centers that form unique patterns.  In late summer, large fragrant and bright white flowers appear above the exciting foliage and attract hummingbirds. The golden centers age into white as the season progresses.

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.
