Make a bold statement in the shade with Hosta × 'Shadowland® Sound of Music' (also sold as Hosta 'Shadowland® Sound of Music'). This giant hosta builds an impressive mound of heavily corrugated, medio-variegated leaves, with bright chartreuse centers that mature lighter in summer and contrasting blue-green margins for rich texture and color all season.
In early to midsummer, tall scapes rise above the foliage with clusters of near-white flowers that bring a soft glow to woodland beds and can draw hummingbirds. At maturity, expect roughly 30-32 inches of foliage height with a broad spread around 60-66 inches, so give it room to become a dramatic anchor plant.
Plant it in part shade to shade, ideally where it is protected from hot afternoon sun. You will get the best size and leaf quality in moist, well-drained, organically enriched soil. Water during dry spells, especially the first year, and mulch to help keep roots cool and evenly moist.
Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, this hosta is a long-lived perennial you can enjoy for years. Clean away old foliage after frost, and divide mature clumps if you want to refresh growth or share with friends. Use it as a standout specimen, in mass plantings, or paired with other shade perennials for a layered, high-impact look.
