The Story

Plant Bio

Hosta is a genus of shade-loving, herbaceous perennials grown primarily for their beautiful foliage. Leaves vary widely in size, shape, color, and texture. They produce spikes of lily-like, bell-shaped flowers in summer.

A medium-sized hosta featuring heavily corrugated, puckered blue-green leaves with wide, wavy, creamy-yellow margins. The leaf petioles are a distinctive purple, and this color bleeds into the base of the leaf. Lavender flowers appear on tall scapes in mid-summer.

Uses & Benefits:
