Yellow leaf centres framed in green give Cathedral Windows a glow that carries across the garden, and in summer this large hosta adds fragrant flowers. It also copes with more sun than most hostas.
Grow it as a solitary specimen or towards the rear of a border, in partial shade or sun. Ferns, astilbes and other hostas can fill the ground in front of it. See more scented varieties among our fragrant hostas, and more plants for brighter spots among our sun-tolerant hostas.

Yes, its flowers are fragrant and open in summer. Cathedral Windows is worth planting where you pass by often, so the scent does not go unnoticed.
Yes, it handles sun better than most hostas and grows in partial shade or sun. Where Cathedral Windows gets more light, water often enough to keep the soil moist.
It is a large hosta, so allow 75–100 cm between plants. A single plant makes a fine specimen.
Planting
Most hostas prefer shade or part shade, but some cope with much more sun if the soil stays moist. Gold and yellow varieties colour best with plenty of light, while blue and white-centred ones fade or scorch first. Even sun-tolerant hostas need afternoon shade in hot, dry weather, and sun tolerance is never the same as drought tolerance.

Care & seasons
Hostas need about 4 cm of water a week in summer, roughly 40 litres per square metre including rain. Water deeply at the base of the plant, preferably in the morning, whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry. New plants, hostas under trees and hostas in pots need checking most often; a mulch keeps the soil moist for longer.

Design & companions
Hostas make an excellent ground cover for shade: planted closely, their leaves meet and suppress weeds from late spring until autumn. Choose medium-sized, vigorous varieties, plant them a little closer than in a border, mulch the gaps until the leaves close, and expect full cover after about three seasons.
