Shadowland® 'Diamond Lake' Hosta

Shadowland® Diamond Lake is a large blue hosta with thick, deeply corrugated, heart-shaped leaves that make a strong foliage display. Pale lavender flowers rise above the clump in early summer, pairing softly with the blue leaves. ## Garden Character Mature plants reach about 24–30 inches tall and spread 48–54 inches. The broad, mounded clump brings cool color and pronounced texture to shaded borders, mass plantings, and large containers. Walters Gardens lists the selection for USDA zones 3–9. ## Growing Conditions Grow Diamond Lake in part shade to full shade. A moisture-retentive but well-drained bed helps the large leaves stay fresh; provide average, consistent water, especially while the plant establishes and during dry weather. It grows in acidic to neutral soil. Shade protects foliage from scorching and preserves its blue appearance. ## Maintenance Water deeply during extended dry spells and keep competing weeds away while the clump expands. After flowering, remove spent stalks if desired. Let the foliage die down at season’s end, then clear it in late fall or early winter.
