Grow Hosta × 'Paul's Glory' (Plantain Lily 'Paul's Glory') for dramatic, variegated foliage that brightens shady beds. You will get a strong, rounded clump of heart-shaped leaves that emerge chartreuse to creamy yellow, then mature with broad blue-green margins. In summer, taller scapes rise above the foliage with lavender blooms that add a soft seasonal accent without stealing the show.
Plan for a mature size around 24-36 inches tall, with a broad clump that can spread to roughly 36-60 inches over time. This is an excellent choice for part shade to full shade, where the foliage color holds best. Morning sun is often fine, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch leaves, especially in drier soils.
Give your plant rich, humus-y soil that drains well and stays consistently moist. Water deeply during dry spells, and mulch to conserve moisture and protect shallow roots. Remove spent flower stalks if you want a tidier look, and clean up old foliage after it yellows in fall. Divide clumps in spring or early fall when you want to control size or share plants.
Watch for slugs and snails, especially in damp shade, and protect new shoots early in the season. With steady moisture and shade, this hosta becomes a long-lived, dependable focal point for woodland edges, shade borders, and mixed perennial plantings.
