Troubleshooting
Hosta 'June' problems — and how to fix them
Hosta 'June' (Hosta 'June') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Slug and snail damage
Holed and shredded leaves are the classic hosta problem. Use barriers, traps, or wildlife-safe controls; thicker-leaved hostas resist better.
Leaf scorch
Brown, crispy leaf edges from too much sun or dry soil. Move to dappled shade and keep the soil evenly moist.
Faded variegation
Too little light flattens the gold-and-blue contrast. Give bright dappled shade or gentle morning sun to keep the colours crisp.
Crown rot
Soggy, poorly drained soil rots the crown. Ensure the soil is moisture-retentive yet draining and avoid standing water at the base.
