Zones: 3-9

Bloom Time: Mid-summer

Growing Conditions: Partial shade, though golden leaf varieties can also handle sun.

Care: The foliage of hostas grows mostly in the early part of the season, during which time they can be a bit attractive to deer and slugs. Therefore, you may need to apply deer deterrent to the flowers early in the season. Growing hostas with thicker leaves will help combat slugs.
