(Hosta) Hosta ‘Touch of Class’ is a classy sport of the award winning Hosta ‘June’ with a more upright habit. The heart-shaped blue leaves have heavy substance and striking gold centers with green streaking. ‘Touch of Class’ presents lavender flowers in midsummer which attract hummingbirds. Hostas thrive in the shade, even in competition with tree roots. ‘Touch of Class’ is hardy in zones 3-9 and can reach a maximum height of 16 inches and maximum width of 24 inches. It is recommended to mulch around your hosta the first few years that it is planted in the ground. This will help lock in moisture around the roots. Do this also, if your hosta is planted in a more sunny area of the garden. We also recommend trimming off the dead leaves in the fall when they start to get slimy. This helps improve the appearance of the hosta throughout the winter and gets it ready for new growth in the spring. It also helps to mitigate slugs. Plant in the garden with other complimentary hostas to create a patchwork of color. ‘Touch of Class’ hosta is one of the best around!
