Hostas are known for their lovely foliage and menial care requirements, and the Shadowland® Love Story Hosta is the perfect example of both. The large, heart-shaped leaves grow in a rosette formation and feature thick, green margins that surround creamy white centers offset by spots of chartreuse. The veining is indented, and the edges of the foliage have a gentle ruffle for added dimension. This plant is primarily grown for its showy foliage, but small white flowers bloom on top of tall stems during the summer.

Plant the Shadowland® Love Story Hosta in a bed or border. This leafy plant thrives in the shade, making a wonderful foundation or understory planting. The bold foliage adds color to shady areas that are simply not hospitable to most plants. The flowers attract pollinators, like hummingbirds. The Shadowland® Love Story Hosta is an herbaceous perennial in zones 3 through 9.

Shadowland® Love Story Hosta Care

Plant the Shadowland® Love Story Hosta in part to full shade. This plant needs about 4 hours of sunlight to thrive. The soil should be rich, well drained, and have an acidic to neutral pH. Water new plants regularly during the first growing season, but established plants develop drought tolerance and only need supplemental water during an extended dry period. Feed the Shadowland® Love Story Hosta using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer annually in the spring.

Cut back the flower spikes when the blooms fade to clean up the look. Dead or damaged growth can be removed anytime, and all of the growth can be removed in the fall after the first frost. Divide Hosta in the spring or fall when this leafy plant outgrows its home.

Shadowland® Love Story Hosta Spacing

Mature plants stand 14 to 16 inches tall, with flower spikes reaching up to 31 inches high. This leafy plant will spread out 36 to 42 inches wide. Space the Shadowland® Love Story Hosta 36 to 42 inches apart to create a continuous row of lush greenery.
