This is a real showstopper. Its heart-shaped leaves are splashed with lime green and initially have a blue-grey wash, which gradually fades as the leaves mature throughout the summer.
In July Hosta 'June' produces spikes of lavender-grey trumpet-shaped flowers. It's a variegated sport of Hosta 'Halcyon' and makes a flourish at the front of a shady border, sheltered from cold, drying winds, or on its own in a container.
The foliage is also invaluable for softening the edges of hard landscaping. Once established, its layers of leaves will suppress weeds, too.

Hostas thrive in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, ideally with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. While they can tolerate partial shade, dappled sunlight is optimal for maintaining vibrant, healthy foliage. To ensure optimal growth, water your hostas regularly, especially during dry periods. A thick layer of mulch applied in spring or autumn will help retain moisture, suppress weeds and enrich the soil.
Slugs and snails love hostas, so you will need to protect against them. Additionally, elevating your hostas in pots with gravel-topped soil can deter these pests.
To prevent the spread of diseases, clean up any fallen leaves and debris in late autumn. This simple practice can significantly reduce the risk of fungal infections and pest infestations.
