A striking hosta with broad leaves that emerge green and gradually develop a rich golden centre, creating a beautiful two-tone effect through the season. Gold Standard is a wonderful choice for bringing colour, texture, and a lush, settled feel to shaded borders and woodland-style planting.

Growing conditions
Hosta Gold Standard thrives in partial shade to full shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. A sheltered spot with consistent moisture will help keep the foliage looking its best.
What makes this one special
What makes Gold Standard so appealing is the way its foliage colour develops over time. As the season moves on, the leaves become more richly golden at the centre, giving the plant extra depth and interest in shaded planting schemes.
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Hostas are brilliant for creating a calm, layered look in the garden. Use Gold Standard to brighten darker corners and pair it with ferns, brunnera, or deep green foliage for a soft, woodland feel. Protect fresh spring growth from slugs and keep the soil from drying out in hot weather.
