Hosta Plantain Lily Beyond Glory

Beyond Glory Hosta delivers exceptional color contrast in shaded landscapes with its luminous chartreuse-gold foliage framed by wide, deep green margins.

Growth & Care

Beyond Glory Hosta performs best in evenly moist soil and benefits from protection from hot afternoon sun. It adapts well to most soil types and does not require heavy fertilization once established. As a herbaceous perennial, foliage naturally dies back in winter and regrows from the crown each spring. Remove old foliage in early spring before new growth appears.

Ideal Uses

Mass plantings, shaded borders, garden beds, groundcover groupings, foundation plantings, and mixed perennial combinations.

Care Notes

Monitor periodically for common garden insects. Plants may be divided to manage size or refresh vigor, though cultivated varieties may have propagation limitations depending on licensing or local regulations.
