Description
The Hosta 'Django' is a medium to large variety that stands out with its predominantly yellow leaves, adorned with a thin but beautifully undulating green border. In summer, the plant is adorned with a flowering spike of lavender bells. An ideal perennial to brighten up shaded or semi-shaded areas of the garden or terrace.
The Hosta or Funkia 'Django' is derived from the 'Ruffed Up' cultivar. It is a deciduous and very hardy perennial, with above-ground growth emerging from the ground in spring. It belongs to the asparagus family. The plant, which grows quite slowly but has a good lifespan, reaches approximately 55 cm (22in) in height and 70 cm (28in) in width. It develops elongated oval leaves with cordate bases, tapering to a point. The leaf blade is marked by 6 pairs of deep veins. From the heart of its variegated foliage, tall flower stalks emerge in July-August, reaching about 65 cm (26in) in height, bearing racemes of bell-shaped flowers in light lavender, which are not fragrant.
Combine hostas with each other, marry them with ferns, seal of solomon, and other low-growing ground cover perennials such as bugleweeds, wood geraniums, and dead nettles. They are all highly effective as slug repellents. The familiar silver Brunnera macrophylla 'Mr Morse' of the undergrowth will be excellent company. Also consider Heucheras and their fantastic range of colors, or the delicate flowers of fairy bells (Epimediumss). This will enhance the shaded and slightly moist parts of the garden, creating a pleasant haven of freshness for the summer. Hostas also thrive in pots that should be placed in partial shade and watered regularly. Hostas pair wonderfully with spring bulbs, hiding their absence during summer under their generous foliage! Around a pond, plant them with knotweeds, sedges, and astilbes. The blue-toned foliage blends perfectly with the red and purple foliage of Japanese maples.
Important: Most species found in Western gardens have been introduced from Japan. Hostas are edible and are commonly consumed in Japan, where they are called "urui".

Planting and care
Hostas are planted in spring or autumn. Hostas thrive in 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 sheltered location away from strong winds.
Prepare a planting hole measuring 20 cm (8in) x 20 cm (8in) x 20 cm (8in). If your soil is heavy, mix equal parts of compost with crumbled soil, partially refill the hole, and place your potted plant so that the top of the root ball is covered with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Adding a slow-release fertilizer (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. Firmly tamp down the soil and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. If the weather is dry, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate your plant's establishment. Also, water regularly during dry summers.
With their shared preference for moist locations, slugs and snails never stray far 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. Safeguard your Hostas by surrounding them with ferramol-based pellets (approved for organic farming), crushed eggshells, coffee grounds, wood chips, or any dry, rough natural substance that repels them. Hedgehogs are the gardener's best allies in controlling gastropods, as they do not till the soil or attack the lush green shoots of young plants like chickens do. Finally, some plants possess a repulsive odor to slugs, 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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
