Plant Type: Hostas

Hosta ‘June’ is a gold-centered tissue-cultured sport of Halcyon. This is another hosta that normally shows a color change, with the gold color getting lighter as summer progresses. There are two forms of this hosta that are being sold, with one having a much lighter-colored leaf center than the other, and there is some debate about which type is the “correct” June. June forms a dense mound of foliage and has thick leaves that get broader as the hosta ages. The leaves are smooth with little corrugation. A mature June forms many seed pods.
