Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 8, it thrives in areas with partial to full shade, favoring cooler temperatures between 60-75°F. 'August Moon' reaches a mature height of about 18-24 inches with similar width, creating a dense, bushy presence. This hosta is deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for landscapes where browsing animals are a concern.
