How to Grow
Light: Thrives in shade (< 4 hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun).
Water: Has average water needs, and once established, plants have some tolerance for dry shade (particularly plants with thick leaves). In general, soils should never be allowed to dry out.
Spacing: 3 feet apart
Fertilizing: In spring, a light fertilizer can be applied around the emerging plant, but not touching it.
Winterizing: Leave foliage standing in fall to help protect the crown. If desired, a layer of mulch can be applied in a 2" layer very near the base.
Maintenance & pruning: Groom plants by removing yellow or dead leaves and cut flower spikes back as they finish blooming in summer
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
These arrived in 2 days and in perfect shape. Packaged extremely well. I’ll definitely buy from here again
I ordered eight of these hostas and six of the Dolce Spearmint Coral Bells and all arrived quickly. Packaging was great and they were all larger than expected!
Hi Tammy! Your plants do look great! Thank you for taking the time to share some photos with us. Happy Gardening!
Received two beautiful stained glass hostas. The color is vibrant and has brought some visual interest to a shady area. Will most likely buy more to build a drift of hostas for next year. I chose to pair these with a deep red coleus. The combination of color is absolutely stunning in my garden. Great Garden Plants are always welcomed additions in my garden. Great quality and care are given to their plants!
Got it planted, and it looked lovely, but some rabbits came around and ate the whole thing right down to the ground
We're sorry that the rabbits enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to rabbit damage, so we highly recommend protecting new plants in areas with high rabbit traffic. All orders are covered by our fall guarantee, so please send your order number and pictures of your plants to [email protected] to start the claims process. We look forward to helping!
First order from here and my Hosta came in as a great size and went straight into the ground. Unfortunately the slugs here love it too much even with slug bait will have to find something rhe slugs hate
Chartreuse leaves shine brightly in a partly shaded section of my perennial bed. I just hope it comes back in Spring.
Beautiful plant!!! Love it! Thank you
Nice size and vigor for this late in the season! Very pleased!
Healthy, green and hopefully will winter ok.
First time purchase. The hostas came ready to plant.
They were all beautiful thanks
I needed something to grow against the foundation of my home. These low and wide hostas were perfect. This is the first year but they are still beautiful and I'm sure will grow into a long space that is shaded from the sun most of the day.

I've been gardening for 50 years, in 6 states and GGP has been my go-to spot for the last decade.
Always healthy, well-packaged and you actually get PLANTS, not freeze-dried pieces.
Can't wait for SPRINGTIME again :)
This is not the first time I ordered hosta from you, including Stained Glass.
You always send beautiful healthy plants
The stained glass are especially hearty and do wonderfully in my yard
Thats why I ordered more
Its really my personally favorite hosta
I am so pleased. Arrived in excellent condition.
My plants arrive in excellent condition. Soooo much more than I expected. Plan to order all future plants from here.
It is beautiful!
Well rooted in very nice condition, took well to being transplanted looks great
These Stained Glass Hostas arrived in great condition! Can’t wait for them to get big in a couple of years so they can shine in a shaded area. 👍 for the packing to protect the plants!
These hostas arrived on time and were extremely well packed. The plants looked great and have continued to thrive since planting them. Will definitely be buying from this company again.
These hostas brighten an area of the garden where only deep green foliage had been visible. I also planted some caramel-colored heucheras in front of them. I’m enjoying the view so much from my kitchen window.
As usual, all came well protected and sufficiently moist. Planted the next day and were fortunate to have a nice rain that followed. Doing very well and looking forward to next season.
The plant arrived alive but some leaves were broken. No worries. Now they are looking good and will be beautiful in time.
Beautiful! Made a terrific introduction to the shade plantings around the pine trees. Then several days later a doe and fawn made a salad of the top, however I rescued the roots and all replanted. They are doing famously now!! The Deer Fence took care of the four-legged friends. All of the Great Garden Plants are thriving and will be a growing presence in our landscape for decades to come.
I’ve planted this in front of my Guacamole hostess and with some Main Street Beale coleus - thrilled with the combination and slug resistant thus far
I bought a couple of these. They’re a nice size plant, not bare roots with a shoot. The packaging was great and the plants are growing very well. This is a gorgeous big hosta I highly recommend.
do you send real plants or roots with a dirt ball?
