Plant Features

Fortunei Aureomarginata Hosta Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage that is topped with dark-green leaves with a distinctive golden-yellow edging. These hostas are great for planting in masses or in mixed containers. Fortunei Aureomarginata ships as a bare root. We like growing from bare roots because they establish quickly, become twice the size of a potted plant in the first season, and eliminate the need for plastic pots (a win for the environment). 


Common Names: funkia, funkias, giboshi, plantain lily


Hosta Companion Plants: Astilbe, Dicentra, Ferns, Geranium, Grasses, Helleborus, Hemerocallis, Iris


Fortunei Aureomarginata Hosta Plant Care Instructions: Soil should be kept moist during the early part of the season. Once the summer heat sets in, the soil can dry slightly between waterings. In late fall, after frost has turned the foliage brown, it should be cut back to the ground. Roots should be divided every 3-5 years. Early fall or early spring is an excellent time to divide. Spring is also the best time to apply one application of liquid fertilizer.
