A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Hosta fortunei 'Aureomarginata' is a vigorous, shade-loving perennial with broad, heart-shaped, deep green leaves edged in golden yellow. As the season progresses, the margins brighten to creamy white, adding contrast to shaded gardens. In mid to late summer, tall scapes rise above the foliage, bearing funnel-shaped, mauve flowers that attract pollinators. Thriving in part shade to full shade, this adaptable hosta tolerates a range of soil conditions and provides reliable texture and seasonal interest in borders, woodland gardens, and mixed plantings.

Planting: Plant in early spring or fall. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, form a small mound in the center, and drape roots over it. Set the crown just below soil level and backfill firmly. Space 18 to 30 inches apart depending on variety.
Location: Partial to full shade is ideal. Some varieties tolerate morning sun, but avoid hot afternoon exposure.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once established, hostas are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering in dry spells.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas that encourage soft, slug-prone growth.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3–5 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Watch for slugs, snails, and foliar nematodes. Use barriers or organic deterrents and maintain good air circulation.
