Garden Plant: Celestial Hosta
Celestial Hosta
Product Description: Celestial Hosta
Huge Corregated Leaves
Hosta Celestial, Hosta \’Celestial’, is a large plant that has deeply corrugated, rounded leaves that measure 12-15″ long! This new variety is considered by some Hosta experts to be an improvement over \’Northern Halo’ and other white edged Sieboldiana types. This Hosta offers attractive, corrugated, green leaves with a wide cream border!
This cream-edged, low care perennisettings and often works well as specimen or edginal is ideal for shady positions. It is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant.
\’Celestial’ starts out with dark-green leaves with a greenish-yellow color swept across the margins, and then brightens to a creamy white in the summer. In midsummer, pale-lavender flowers are produced on very tall scapes.
\’Celestial’ needs high-filtered or dappled sunlight for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to Hostas!
Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5. 5 and 7. 5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. Be sure to remove dead leaf litter from under your plant for the best results.
