Overview
Registered in 1999 by an unknown breeder, 'Rosedale Golden June Bug' is a large hosta distinguished by its blue-green leaves with wide golden yellow margins. The leaves exhibit a dull upper surface and a glaucous bloom beneath, with cordate bases and 14 pairs of veins.
In the Garden
This cultivar reaches a mature spread of approximately 45 inches (114.3 cm) and a height of 33 inches (83.8 cm), with upright scapes of similar height. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical of most hostas, and its slow growth rate makes it suitable for permanent garden positions. The bold foliage contrasts well with ferns, heucheras, and other shade perennials; its large size precludes container use for most gardeners.
Care Notes
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage foliage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
