Diana Remembered Hosta is a fast growing shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage.  The large, mildly cordate leaves emerge emerald green with yellow margins and mature to pale green with white margins that extent down to the petioles.  Extremely fragrant small bell-like white flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.   

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Columbine, Lungwort, Bleeding Heart
