For a composition in partial to full shade, Hosta 'June' (Hosta 'June') offers lavender-hued flowers. The foliage displays shades of yellow and green, perfect for highlighting among different textures. The usual flowering period is July-August. Its size of 40 cm by 50 cm makes it suitable for partial shade beds and woodland gardens, without forgetting its neighbors. The leaf margins contribute to the contrast and deserve a prominent place visible from the pathway.
Regarding cultivation, Hosta 'June' prefers a partial to full shade exposure; the recommended soil should be kept moist and clayey. For Hosta 'June', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it should remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (partial to full shade) does not eliminate the need for water. A margin corresponding to its spread of 50 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
The maintenance of Hosta 'June' mainly involves observing the clump: watch out for slugs on new leaves and wait for complete yellowing before removing the foliage at the end of the season. Under trees, neighboring roots can dry out the soil despite the shade; check the moisture level at the hosta's root ball. For associations, consider tiarella, astilbe, and lungwort varieties with similar needs. The flowering period (July-August) and the 50 cm spread will serve as guides for arranging other plants around this plant.
