Think of Maui Buttercups as a small light for the shade: a compact hosta whose gold leaves brighten dark corners. It grows small to medium, so it fits where a bigger plant would crowd.
Give it a pot beside a shaded doorway, a strip along a path or a spot at the very front of a bed, so the gold is seen close up. Some morning light gives the strongest colour, while hot afternoon sun does not suit it. For more bright foliage, see our yellow and gold hostas.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

It stays small to medium. Spaced 30–50 cm apart, a row of Maui Buttercups makes a bright edging; a single plant also fits a pot.
Partial shade suits it, and some morning sun brings out the richest gold. The hot afternoon sun is too strong for Maui Buttercups.
Yes, its compact size makes Maui Buttercups an easy choice for a container. Pick a large pot that drains freely and keep the compost moist through warm weather.
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.

Planting
Yes, hostas grow very well in pots. Choose a frost-proof container with drainage holes, fill it with free-draining compost, and water whenever the surface feels dry. Feed through spring and early summer, check under the rim for slugs, and leave the pot outdoors in winter, because hostas need a cold rest to grow well the next year.
