H. ‘June's Gold’

Overview

Registered in 2000 by E. Minks and registrant P. Ruh, this small hosta is a sport of *Hosta* 'June'. It is visually distinguished by its green leaf centers with golden yellow flat margins, a reverse of the typical gold-center, green-margin pattern found in its parent.

In the Garden

'Hosta 'June's Gold' forms a low, slow-growing mound reaching 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) in height and 13 inches (33.0 cm) in diameter. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of hosta-growing zones, where its golden margins remain most vibrant. Its compact size makes it suitable for rock gardens, troughs, or the front of shaded borders, and it pairs well with small ferns or woodland groundcovers.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs may damage the foliage, and deer are known to browse hostas, so protective measures may be necessary in areas where these pests are prevalent.
