Notes
'Orange Marmalade' hosta (Hosta 'Orange Marmalade') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads at least 24 inches, so give it room. The blooms are fragrant and draw bees and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Bigleaf hydrangea, and Astilbe.
