Description
Coast to Coast Hosta transforms your landscape with its stunning, boldly variegated foliage and striking architectural form. This deciduous perennial offers a compact, clumping habit perfectly scaled for Michigan’s cooler conditions. In spring, fresh, textured leaves unfurl with an elegant blend of lush greens and subtle contrasting shades, creating a refined statement in shaded borders or mixed plantings. During summer, its modest, funnel-shaped flowers—typically pale lavender or white—provide a pleasant accent to the vibrant foliage. Although hostas do produce fruit when pollinated, it is not a significant feature of this variety.
General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives best in part to full shade with at least 3–4 hours of indirect light daily

- Watering: Provide consistent, moderate watering during the growing season; allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, especially in cooler Michigan conditions
- Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
- Pruning: Remove dead or faded foliage in early spring to encourage vibrant new growth
Revitalize your landscape with the refined appeal of Coast to Coast Hosta—a dependable, low-maintenance perennial that adds enduring visual interest and a sophisticated splash of texture to shaded areas.
