A neat white edge runs around every green leaf of Diamond Tiara, and that bright outline shows up well in shade. This compact hosta stays small to medium in size.
Its size suits a pot on a shaded step, a line along a path or the front of a border, anywhere out of the hot afternoon sun. Many more pale edges and centres can be found among our white and cream hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Yes, Diamond Tiara is a good size for a pot. Use one with drainage holes, keep it in shade or partial shade and water regularly.
Shade or partial shade, away from hot afternoon sun. In those conditions the white edge of Diamond Tiara gives a shady corner a clean outline.
Planting
Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Dig plenty of compost or well-rotted manure into the whole bed before planting: it helps clay drain and sandy soil hold water. Avoid ground that stays waterlogged, mulch every spring and feed lightly, because good soil matters more than fertiliser.

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.

Design & companions
A good shade border is built in layers: large hostas and tall partners at the back, medium hostas in the middle and small ones at the front. Repeat a few varieties in groups of three or five, contrast broad hosta leaves with fine ferns or grasses, and add spring bulbs for colour before the hostas wake.
