<i>Hosta</i> x ‘June’ | June Plantain Lily
DESCRIPTION
Hosta x 'June' is a popular, award-winning perennial known for its striking variegated foliage and excellent garden performance. As a sport of Hosta 'Halcyon', it features distinctive leaves with soft-gold to chartreuse centers and wide, irregular blue-green margins, which vary in color depending on light exposure. The heart-shaped leaves, about 6-8 inches long and 5-6 inches wide, have a slightly corrugated, smooth, waxy texture. In mid-summer, 'June' produces slender, pale lavender, funnel-shaped, slightly fragrant flower spikes that rise up to 24 inches tall, attracting pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Thriving in partial to full shade, 'June' is versatile and attractive, ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and as ground cover, pairing well with other shade-loving plants to create a lush, layered garden display.
