Hosta Shadowland 'Coast to Coast'

Hosta Shadowland 'Coast to Coast' is a bold and upright golden hosta from the Proven Winners Shadowland Series, celebrated for its striking color, towering habit, and heavily corrugated foliage. This variety forms a large, vase-shaped mound of thick, puckered golden leaves that become more intensely chartreuse to gold as the season progresses—especially when grown in some filtered sun. Its impressive size, substance, and texture make it a commanding presence in any shaded or partially shaded space.

This hosta earned the American Hosta Growers Hosta of the Year in 2020, reflecting its outstanding garden performance and visual impact.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Large, upright, puckered golden-yellow leaves with excellent slug resistance and seasonal color intensification.

• Mature Size: Grows 30–36 inches tall and 36–48 inches wide, forming a bold, upright vase-shaped mound.

• Flowers: Pale lavender flowers bloom in midsummer on tall scapes, adding a soft vertical accent above the foliage.

• Light Requirements: Best in part shade; morning sun enhances the gold tones without burning the leaves.

• Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Mulch helps preserve moisture and cool roots.

• Hardiness: USDA zones 3–9.

• Maintenance: Easy to care for. The thick foliage deters slugs and holds up well in summer conditions. Divide every few years if needed.

• Uses: Perfect as a focal point in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or large containers. Combines beautifully with darker green or blue hostas for contrast.

• Awards: Named Hosta of the Year 2020 by the American Hosta Growers Association.

• Series: Part of the Shadowland Collection by Proven Winners®, bred for reliable performance and standout foliage.
