H. ‘June Moon’

Overview

Registered in 1991 by W. & E. Lachman, this large hosta cultivar is distinguished by its lime green leaves with wide, undulating white margins. The leaf blade reaches 24.1 cm in length and 17.8 cm in width, with 11 pairs of veins and a margin approximately 2.5 cm wide.

In the Garden

'Hosta June Moon' forms a clump 63.5 cm in diameter and 45.7 cm in height, making it suitable for mid-border positions in partial to full shade. Its substantial size and bold variegation provide contrast alongside finer-textured shade perennials such as ferns or *Heuchera*. The plant is not suited for containers due to its mature dimensions.

Care Notes

Water regularly during dry periods to maintain consistent soil moisture, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as growth emerges. Like many large-leaved hostas, this cultivar is susceptible to slug and deer damage; protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
