Hosta 'Voices in the Wind' (Shadowland Series) (PBR)
plantain lily
Elegantly ruffled and distinctly variegated, this sophisticated shade perennial bears blue-green, wedge-shaped leaves adorned with dramatic, creamy-yellow margins that ripple throughout their 30cm (12in) length. ‘Voices in the Wind’ forms a lush mound, perfectly complemented by tall scapes bearing pale lavender flowers in mid to late summer, and thrives in urban environments, tolerating air pollution while filling a unique niche in shady borders and pots, or edges where fading bulbs present opportunities for the luxuriant foliage of this most beautiful hosta.
How to care for Hosta Voices in the Wind (Shadowland Series) (PBR):
Hostas thrive in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, ideally with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. While they can tolerate partial shade, dappled sunlight is optimal for maintaining vibrant, healthy foliage. To ensure optimal growth, water your hostas regularly, especially during dry periods. A thick layer of mulch applied in spring or autumn will help retain moisture, suppress weeds and enrich the soil.
Slugs and snails love hostas, so you will need to protect against them. Additionally, elevating your hostas in pots with gravel-topped soil can deter these pests.
To prevent the spread of diseases, clean up any fallen leaves and debris in late autumn. This simple practice can significantly reduce the risk of fungal infections and pest infestations.
