Product Description
Details

Hosta 'Silver Treads and Golden Needles' belongs to the class of super rarities. Anderson registered it in 2006. Leaves have light green-yellow color with a darker green center. In the middle is a gray white line with lots of small green spots. This line takes up to 80 % of the leaf area in older plants. It is a miniature to small hosta suitable as collections plant and also nice in pot. On extreme place may have a problem with overwintering. It is a small plant, therefore be careful and do not let them overlap by the larger cultivars in flower bed. 

How to grow hostas

Save light shade to shade place in your garden to plant hostas. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full color contrast. The green and blue hostas are the most shade-tolerant. Usually the yellow cultivars are the most sun-tolerant. The most dangerous is a direct sunshine, especially hot afternoon sun. This is the most critical where temperatures are high. Variegated varieties, especially those with a lot of white in the leaves, burn very easily. Blue color of leaves turns to green-blue or even fully green with too much direct sun. Plants with thick leaves are better suited for dry soil conditions than thin-leaved ones, but none is able to grow years-long in very dry soil. Plant hostas in moist, humus-rich soil.

Water your hostas well immediately as you plant them. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing season.

Hostas grow slowly and may take 2 to 5 years to reach their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Reserve a plenty of space in your perennial bed for hostas. Most of them are medium sized or large perennials. Hostas are almost fully disease and pest resistant. The most dangerous injury can by caused by slugs, snails and deers.
