About Touch of Class

A tetraploid form of H. ‘June' with double-thick leaves that are somewhat more upright and strongly colored. This was the first in a series of intentional hosta conversions (a chemically induced sport) from diploid to tetraploid, bred by Hans Hansen in Minnesota in 1999.
About Hosta
Hostas are shade-tolerant, but grow best with full morning sun in northern climates. Most are mounding. Some characteristics described do not show up until the plant is a few years old, so younger plants may not express them at the time of purchase. See more on growing hostas and Hosta Virus X.
