Hosta Old Glory, Hosta 'Old Glory' PP12,503, will add color to your landscape foliage with this medium size Designer Hosta from Shady Oaks Nursery. Hosta 'Old Glory' PP12503 is a sport of 'Glory' and has sweet, heart shaped leaves with golden yellow centers. This golden yellow hosta has a 1 slightly rippled, dark green margin. In midsummer, 24 scapes are produced that display soft light lavender flowers. This fast growing sport of Hosta 'Glory' will take your breath away! This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions. 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. High filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary 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. They are most at home in shady, woodland settings and often work well as specimen or edging plants.
