Hosta 'Coast to Coast' (Plantain Lily) is a very large, clump-forming perennial forming a striking mound of thick, heart-shaped, wavy edged, puckered, bright chartreuse gold leaves, paling to paler gold with some sun exposure in the summer months. Pale violet flowers appear midsummer, rising on scapes 36 in. tall (90 cm) above the upright vase-shaped clump. But the primary contribution of this hosta is the dramatic coloring of its foliage. The heavy substance of the leaves helps to make this hosta more slug resistant. Versatile, this hosta can be grown as a single specimen in a large container or in the garden.

• Grows up to 30 in. high (75 cm) and 36 in. wide (90 cm).
• Performs best in part shade to full shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from cold, dry winds.
• Perfect for the shade garden, mixed with other perennials in bed and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens or containers.
• Watch for slugs and snails which could damage the attractive foliage.
• Cut off the stems after blooming to encourage the plant's growth. Discolored leaves should be trimmed back to the ground.
• Propagate by division in early spring or late summer.
