Bright yellow edges outline the green leaves of Mama Mia, a medium-sized hosta that brings light into shady spots. The margin gives every leaf a crisp, defined shape.
Plant a group to make bright-edged ground cover, use it to line a path, or set one in a large pot or a shady border. It pairs well with ferns, astilbes and other hostas. Browse our variegated hostas for more edged leaves.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Each green leaf has a bright yellow margin, and those edges let Mama Mia light up shady spots.
Give each plant roughly 50 cm, which leaves this medium hosta room to fill out beside its neighbours.
Ferns, astilbes and other hostas. Planted with them in a shady border, the yellow edges of Mama Mia catch the eye.
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.

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.

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.
