Remember Me Hosta
The leaves of 'Remember Me' emerge bright yellow with dark green margins but the centers turn bright white by summer. This small to medium (15 inches tall, 20 inches wide) hosta is a sport of H. 'June'; the cultivar was introduced and named by Walters Gardens to honor an employee who died of breast cancer.
Hostas are shade tolerant, easy to grow, and long-lived. Although they produce flowers held high above the foliage on long stalks called scapes, they are grown primarily for their foliage and neat habit. Hostas are actively hybridized for leaf color, size, shape, and texture; natural mutations or “sports” are also common; new introductions abound. Hosta cultivars range in size from several inches to several feet; it may take 3-8 years for hostas to reach their full size. They all prefer moist, loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Some leaf damage by slugs is to be expected. Deer find hosta delicious.
