Compact and bright, Mango Tango is a hosta whose yellow leaves carry a green edge. Its pale centres catch whatever light reaches a shady bed.
Put it in a pot on a shaded patio, along the margin of a path or at a border’s front edge; a little morning sun brings out the strongest colour. Our yellow and gold hostas collect more varieties like it.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Mango Tango is a compact plant of small to medium size; 30–50 cm between plants gives it enough room.
Yes, a pot with drainage holes suits compact Mango Tango; water it often in dry weather.
Partial shade with some morning sun gives Mango Tango its brightest colour; keep it away from hot afternoon sun.
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.
