Hosta 'Pocketful of Sunshine' is a superb sport of the popular Hosta 'Rainforest Sunrise', which itself was a sport of the solid gold Hosta 'Maui Buttercups'. This dazzling hosta makes a small, compact clump to 9" tall x 20" wide, composed of very thick, rounded, golden leaves with a wide, dark green border.

Maintenance:

Hostas are essentially a maintenance free perennial. Once the plant has gone dormant in fall, you may wish to remove the old foliage, which helps tidy the garden. Old flower stalks may be removed after flowering, which we feel helps with clump appearance.

Growing Conditions:

Hostas always grow better in rich, moist soil. They thrive best in clay or amended clay soils, but amended sandy loam can be successful if additional compost or other organic nutrients are added. Dry soils are not problematic for a short time, but hostas will decline if the soil is kept dry over an extended period.

Light shade to a couple of hours of early morning sun are best. Dark shade will not result in a satisfactory plant.

Garden Value:

Hostas like 'Pocketful of Sunshine' are great to brighten a woodland garden. Their bold texture makes a nice garden foil to more airy-textured perennials.

Natural Impacts:

Hosta flowers are always a great source of nectar for honeybees.
