Paul's Glory Hosta American is an easy-going perennial with large attractive leaves that change color over the summer. The leaves emerge blue-green in spring with a chartreuse center. In mid-summer, the centers lighten to cream, while the margins darken to forest green. The leaves dry out in the fall, giving it a lovely golden color, in contrast to most hostas that seem to “melt” by first frost. Clusters of pale lavender flowers are held on tall scapes. This beauty was selected by the American Hosta Growers Association as the Hosta of the Year in 1999.
This large hosta will spread to 55 inches and reach a height of 25 inches. It is very cold hardy down to zone 3. The trumpet-shaped flowers are adored by hummingbirds and bees. This hosta is more slug resistant than other varieties, although no variety is completely immune. Consider planting it along a woodland path, in groupings for an eye-catching display in the shade, or in containers.
Paul's Glory Hosta Care
This hosta grows in part sun to full shade, and appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates. It prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil, regardless of pH level. Water it weekly in the summers and more frequently during hot, dry spells. Apply a well-balanced fertilizer in the spring, or top-dress around the base of the plant with well-decomposed compost.
The foliage will die back in the fall as the hosta goes dormant. Cut back the spent foliage anytime before spring. As the clump expands over several years, you can divide it in the spring or fall and transplant the divisions to other garden areas.
Paul's Glory Hosta Spacing
Space Paul's Glory approximately 4 feet apart on center for mass planting. This hosta also looks spectacular in containers, which must be at least 18 inches in diameter to accommodate its large root system.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
