Hosta Queen Josephine

Hosta Queen Josephine Details

Hosta Queen Josephine is a stunning variety due to its lush foliage and pretty flowers. The foliage comprises large and glossy, dark green leaves with a wide, yellow margin. In summer, purple, bell-like flowers are borne atop short stems which are followed by seed heads that attract birds. This herbaceous perennial will grow to about 50 cm tall and 80 cm wide and in cold climates it may die off during winter to regrow again in spring. It grows best in a full sun or partial shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cold climates but should not be allowed to dry out. Hosta Queen Josephine is commonly used in tropical and cottage gardens, mass planted as a groundcover, included in borders, maintained in a container, or planted around outdoor living areas. A mass planting affords an impressive display.
