Upon the arrival of spring and the emergence of foliage, Hosta ‘Glad Rags’ displays a distinctive appearance. The center of the foliage is a green, while the surrounding area transitions into a lighter shade of green-yellow. As the season progresses, the green center expands, and the light green color gradually shifts towards a more yellow hue, eventually evolving into a creamy yellow. During the summer months, purple blooms develop above the foliage on slender stems.

Homeowner Growing Tips

Hostas grow best in moist, well drained, sandy soils, were the roots can get plenty of aeration. Prefer full shade but can tolerate a little morning sun, but most afternoon suns will burn and kill the leaves of the hosta.

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.

Water Requirements: Water soil fully, then let soil get moist/dry before watering. Do not let dry out, but also can not be soaked or waterlogged.
