A yellow centre inside a dark green frame gives each leaf of Morning Light a soft glow. The contrast is strong enough to brighten a shady bed, and this medium-sized hosta is easy to place.
It is as useful edging a walk as it is in a mixed shady border or a large pot, and a group will knit together into ground cover. Ferns and astilbes keep it good company, as do other hostas. Our yellow and gold hostas include more leaves with a bright heart.
Our hosta planting guide covers every step, from soil to winter.

Its leaves have a yellow centre and a dark green margin, a contrast that keeps Morning Light bright in shade.
Hot afternoon sun does not suit it. Give Morning Light a place in shade or partial shade, ideally where the strongest sun of the day never reaches.
Morning Light can line a walk, take a place in a shady border or fill a large pot, and a group of several turns into ground cover. Ferns and astilbes are natural partners in the same shade.
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.
