Hosta Golden Tiara - The Salty Knitter

Hosta Golden Tiara with its tidy heart-shaped leaves and compact height of just 15″ is one of my favorites in the garden.

Hi Vanessa, I’ve always wanted to try planting hostas. For the first time, I have a shaded area. Will they work in sandy soil too, or do they need nutrient rich soil?

Hosta do fine in sandy soil – my mother has crazy gorgeous ones in her very sandy soil. You will need to look for varieties that do well in your area though many need the colder winters to thrive, but I’ve read there are varieties bred for growing further south…
