Wayside Gardens Hosta Kiwi Spearmint

This variety thrives in part shade to full shade. While it can handle some morning sun, avoid harsh afternoon exposure, which can scorch the delicate, variegated leaves.

No, the foliage is dynamic. It starts with a near-white to chartreuse center and lime green margins in the spring, then deepens to a richer green as the summer progresses.

Yes, it is exceptionally resilient. It is rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 9, meaning it can withstand harsh winters in northern regions without needing special protection.

Like most Hostas, 'Kiwi Spearmint' performs best in soil that is consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid planting it in areas where water pools, as this can lead to root rot.

Plant your bareroot Hosta as soon as possible after it arrives. Soak the roots in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes before planting to rehydrate them, then place them in the ground with the crown just below the soil surface.
