Hosta 'June'

This cultivar performs best in partial shade. While it can handle some morning sun, too much direct afternoon light may cause the gold and chartreuse centers of the leaves to fade or burn.

While no plant is completely immune, 'June' features thick, substantial leaves that make it much less appealing to slugs compared to thinner-leaved Hosta varieties. This natural defense makes it a reliable choice for gardens prone to slug activity.

Yes, this Hosta is well-suited for container gardening. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage and use a high-quality potting mix to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

For the best results, space your Hosta 'June' plants 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows enough room for the clumps to reach their mature spread of 24 inches without overcrowding.

Once the root system is fully established, 'June' shows good adaptability and moderate drought tolerance. However, for the best foliage color and growth, it prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil.

Yes, you should take precautions. Hosta 'June' is not deer resistant, so if deer frequent your area, you may need to use protective netting or repellent sprays to keep them from grazing on the foliage.
