Plant Description

Hosta 'Gold Standard' is a reliable herbaceous perennial grown for the appeal of Hosta 'Gold ', with yellow flowers in summer and green deciduous foliage. This Hosta is an excellent choice for borders, containers, woodland-style planting and patio pots, where it brings colour, texture and seasonal interest. It is especially effective in summer, and performs best in partial to full shade.


Hosta 'Gold Standard' is straightforward to look after with routine care and suits a wide range of garden styles, from traditional borders to more contemporary planting combinations. Reaching around 2.5m at maturity, it is best planted towards the back of a border, in pots and containers, in woodland-style planting and as a specimen plant with partial to full shade. As a deciduous plant, it brings a fresh flush of new growth each season. It is suitable for outdoor growing in most UK gardens. It performs best in clay or loam soils with moist conditions. It can also be a useful plant for bees and beneficial insects.

Supplied in a 2L pot, this size offers a practical starting point for planting out, patio displays or growing on at home.

Planting & Aftercare

Choose a pot with drainage holes slightly larger than the nursery pot. Use well-draining potting mix. Place the plant at the same depth it was in the original pot. Water thoroughly after planting.
Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry. In spring and summer, this is typically once a week. Reduce watering in autumn and winter. Always check the soil before watering to avoid overwatering.
Overwatering is the most common issue. Avoid placing in direct sunlight which can scorch leaves. Don't repot too frequently - most plants prefer to be slightly root-bound. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Reduce or stop feeding in winter when growth naturally slows.
