Description
Hosta 'June Fever', derived from the excellent H. 'June', has a more compact habit and more golden foliage, which adds brightness to the shaded areas that this perennial loves. Its beautifully patterned leaves have a golden yellow centre that turns chartreuse green during the season, with the thin dark green border sometimes extending towards the central vein. A lovely plant for cool shade, at the edge of a bed or in a pot.
Hostas are deciduous perennial plants that belong to the Asparagaceae family. 'June Fever' is part of a line of hybrids obtained in the 2000s from Hosta 'Halcyon'. It has good longevity and will reach about 35cm (14in) in height. It forms a compact clump, wider than tall. Its foliage is deciduous, thick, heart-shaped with a tapering tip, and bears visible parallel veins. Note that the foliage colouration and contrast of colours vary depending on the age of the leaf and are accentuated in a slightly sunny exposure. Flowering occurs in July-August, in the form of pendulous lavender bells carried by 60cm (24in) tall stems that rise well above the foliage. This perennial spreads by stolons, similar to strawberries.
Originating from China, Korea, and Japan, hostas are very hardy plants. They are mostly found as ground cover under deciduous trees, in cool beds or in rockeries and borders, especially near ornamental ponds. 'June Fever' will pair well with lady's mantle, lungworts, ferns, epimediums, and Claytonia sibirica, with which it forms beautifully coloured duos that require little maintenance. It will also look great on a dark-coloured mulch. All hostas thrive in pots and can remain in the same container for several years. As long as the foliage is not too dense, water from the top of the pot. Then place a saucer under the pot and maintain a constant level of water during summer. The beautifully patterned heart-shaped leaves of this variety can be used for fresh bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant in spring or autumn. They prefer deep, rich, humus-bearing, loose soil, preferably neutral to acidic (at least low in limestone), and moist to wet throughout the year. Plant them in partial shade or dappled shade and in a location sheltered from strong winds.
Prepare a planting hole measuring 20x20x20cm (8x8x8in). If your soil is heavy, mix equal parts compost with crumbled soil, partially fill the hole, and place your plant with its root ball so that the top of the root ball is covered with 3cm (1in) of soil. Applying a slow-release fertiliser (dehydrated blood, horn powder) will nourish your plant during its rooting period without the risk of burning. Make sure to position the collar well above ground level. Firm the soil and water thoroughly to remove any air pockets. During dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment. Also, water regularly during dry summers.
With their common preference for moist areas, slugs and snails are never far away from hostas. Even though blue or variegated hostas often have thicker and tougher foliage, which is less appealing to slugs, these plants still need protection from gastropods. Protect your hostas by surrounding them with ferramol-based pellets (approved for organic agriculture), eggshells, coffee grounds, wood chips, or any dry and rough natural substance that repels them. Hedgehogs are the gardener's best allies in the fight against gastropods, as they do not disturb the soil and do not attack the lush green shoots of young plants. Slugs are also repulsed by plants with strong odours, such as wormwood and garlic.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
