Early to emerge and quick to grow, Hi-Class is a hosta of medium size with green leaves finished in a white edge. The leaves have heavy substance, the plant shows good slug resistance, and it copes with more sun than most hostas.
That mix suits brighter spots: a border that catches some sun, an open path or a large pot on a terrace, as long as the soil stays moist. A group also makes ground cover. See also our sun-tolerant hostas and slug-resistant hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Yes, Hi-Class handles more sun than most hostas and grows anywhere from partial shade to sun. The one condition in a bright spot is moist soil, so water before it dries.
Yes, Hi-Class shows good slug resistance and has leaves of heavy substance. Young shoots in spring are still worth a quick look.
Roughly 50 cm. Because Hi-Class emerges early and grows fast, a row or group fills that spacing quickly.
Problems & pests
Hostas are not deer-proof: Rutgers University rates them in its highest damage category, and rabbits and voles eat them too. Thick-leaved varieties may be a little less tempting, but only a physical barrier reliably works: a fence, a cage or netting dug in against tunnelling animals. Identify the animal first, because deer, rabbits, slugs and voles leave different clues.

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.

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.
