Description
Hosta Vulcan brings strong foliage contrast to shaded borders with broad, heart-shaped leaves centered in white, edged in dark green, and marked by yellow streaking between the two. Pale lavender flowers rise just above the mound in midsummer.
This clump-forming perennial fills the front of a shade garden, covers ground beneath taller plants, and grows well in a roomy patio container. Its variegated foliage provides color from spring until the plant enters winter dormancy.
Plant it in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in partial or full shade. Water consistently during active growth, divide established clumps in spring or late summer, and remove flower stems after blooming. This plant is toxic if eaten by pets and grazing animals; keep it where they cannot chew the leaves.
