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.
I received my plant last March/April 2021 and one year later, all three look the same! How do they look? AMAZING! Although a stem or two had broken upon delivery, I followed the instructions to a T. Also called customer service to clarify the care instructions. The service provided was amazing & so are our plants! Look forward to purchasing again!
Hi TF, thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback! We're so happy that your plants are thriving in your care. Our customer service team is always here to help with any questions that you may have. Happy Gardening!
Despite 7” of rain this month and a nibbling bunny, my three Hostas June are alive and blooming. Their variegation is minimal at this point, but as they mature, i have hopes of more color. Plants were beautiful upon delivery and seem healthy now.
Looks healthy! Fast delivery!
The plant arrived quickly and in great shape. It's already thriving in my garden!
Packed well and arrived quickly.
I was very happy with the hostas I received. They arrived healthy and were packaged securely, so there was no damage during shipping. The only issue I had was the plastic tie wrapped tightly around the base of each plant. It was difficult to remove without worrying about damaging the stems. Maybe there’s an alternative way to secure the plants during shipping that would be a little easier for customers while still keeping them protected. Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality of the plants and would order from this company again.
The “deer resistant” plants and the hosta arrived in good condition, I planted them with care, the were eaten down to dirt level the first night. I know deer like hostas but I wanted to try.. what the deer didn’t eat were to corn flowers I purchased. I know it’s impossible to prevent the deer from visiting my garden but I’m wondering it you would give me a cost break on more corn flowers…..just askin'
We're sorry that the deer enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to deer damage, so we highly recommend protecting new plants in areas with high deer traffic.

Beautiful Thillrd quality packing shipping ordering. All was great. All plants arrived in awesome condition except Desperma. Wich is recovering. Thank you all who worked to grow and ship and sell and discount. I will order more
The tiny hosta I got didn't look at all like the June Hosta in color. You usually send such nice plants did I just order too late in the season?
Hello! It is common for plants to experience slight stress from shipping which could cause a slight change in color , as they have not experienced their ideal growing conditions at this time. We recommend placing plants in a cool, shaded spot out of direct sunlight for 24-48 hours after unpacking them. This allows them a recovery and acclimation period before planting. If you must hold them longer, place them out of direct sunlight, wind, heat, and cold, and plant as soon as possible. Please email your order number and pictures of your plants to [email protected] to start the claims process, and we can make sure your plants are on the right track! https://bit.ly/ggp-guarantee
Will not purchase from this vendor again

Hostas are a good size. Thanks so much.
The June hostas are doing great so far. Some of the Patriot hostas are struggling. But they may have been ovetwatered by the sprinklers hitting the new sod. We got approx 200 plants from you this August/Sept. Only one has died. A lavender. I have been very impressed with the quality of the plants so far. And how they were packaged for shipping. One large box of plants was held up by FedEx for about 4 days and even those plants arrived in good order.
All I can say is, I can't wait for it to become full. I'm a hosta lover.
I was very impressed with packaging and instructions. Plants were very healthy and are doing beautifully in my flower bed! I highly recommend your company ❤️
I was a little skeptical about ordering plants through the mail. My hostas arrived quickly, were easy to unpack-age, and looked amazing! I love the detailed instructions, including planting and watering tips. I will order from Great Garden Plants again and would highly recommend this company!!
My hosta is so beautiful!
Beautifully chosen. They look great under my oak tree and growing fast. I can’t wait until Spring to see how they are thriving.
Lovely color, nice size, healthy. Happy with my purchase.
Looks great and growing well.
Arrived in vibrant condition. Extremely pleased.
Great for shade garden.

What is the size of the plant when delivered
Plant size varies widely depending on the varie ty that you purchase and the time of year. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our growing.
