Description

12-16" tall x 24-36" wide. 'Stained Glass' Hosta (also called Plantain Lily) brings great color and contrast to the garden. A no-fuss perennial, this hosta is incredibly easy to care for, making the most of poor soils, wind-prone sites and limited sun exposure. Unlike other shade-loving varieties, however, 'Stained Glass' won’t fade or wilt in the sun, adding to its overall versatility. While most often grown for their foliage, hostas do produce flowers that are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. A great choice for foundation plantings and other sites that require rugged plants. 

Planting & Care

Propagation is simple, too: If you've never divided a Hosta, let me tell you how simple and successful it can be. I once volunteered to help a friend divide three or four large, old Hosta clumps into smaller plants to line a shady walk. We began by digging them up, and then split the big fleshy root masses with a hatchet. Underground, Hostas are much like Daylilies, with fleshy, heavy masses of thick rootstocks. Once, we had the old clumps chopped into 8 or 10 equal-size pieces each, we simply dug a trench on both sides of the shady walk, and buried the pieces spaced evenly apart. They looked fine on through that summer, and the very next spring, each one was up, healthy, and already formed into a perfect circle! So don't think if you divide yours, you'll disturb that wonderful round fountain shape. They just recover and create a new whorled circle wherever you put the divided pieces. Today, that walk is edged with large, lush circles of Hosta foliage all season long.

The Flowers Yes, Hostas do flower, and some cultivars have quite beautiful blooms, mostly purplish, blue or white, on tall lily-like stems above the foliage. Hosta purists often nip off the flower stalks before they can bloom, preferring to throw all the growth into the all-important foliage of the plants.
