Culture Notes
Remove flower heads when flowers are spent. Hostas will grow best in a moist, fertile loamy soil in a woodland setting. Plants go well with: Astilbe, Ferns, Epimedium, Rodgersia, and Dicentra sp. This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people.
'Emerald Tiara' Hybrid is the opposite of 'Golden Tiara' in that its leaf margins are green with a golden center. The lavender blooms display purple veins, and sit atop 24" scapes. Blooms may sometimes reoccur.
