Hosta Antioch

Award winning hosta with leaves large, arching to the ground, oval tapering to a point, with a wide irregular cream margin fading to white with some streaking (rich soil promotes streaking).  Long lived plants. Grow best in rich, moist, but well-drained soil in filtered sunlight. Mixing an abundance of organic matter into the soil when planting and then mulching over the years keeps hostas looking their best. Water during periods of drought and protect from slugs. The mainstays of the shade garden. To create a very naturalized look plant in mass plantings of mixed colors and shapes under trees. Use as specimens or accents in a shaded border.Will thrive in the darkest  recesses between buildings, under eaves, or narrow passages. Hostas emerge late in spring  so interplant with spring bulbs and ephemerals.
