Description
Colourful Hostas for Your Shade GardenOur Many Shades of Hosta Collection offers hosta lovers an exciting alternative to ordinary hosta hues—with bold colour combinations and incredible shapes and textures.
This collection includes five hostas:
- Kiwi Spearmint: This one-of-a-kind shade lover features the most wonderfully twisted, wavy foliage we've ever seen. Creamy white leaves appear with a lovely green trim, and mature to present streaks of green and white throughout the growing season. Height: 6-8"
- Gold Standard: Large, ovate leaves emerge in spring with light green centres and dark green edges; by midsummer, the centres turn a glorious shade of gold. Exposure to morning sun enhances the gilded hue. Height: 20-24"
- Abiqua Drinking Gourd: Showing off an unusual foliage form and a rich grey-blue hue, this award winner will add a rare kind of beauty to any shaded area. Its thick leaves form intriguing cups nearly 3" deep and fend off slugs with little effort. Height: 18"
- Tokudama flavocircinalis: Thick, nearly round, frosty blue leaves have wide, irregular chartreuse margins and a corrugated texture. Shows great slug resistance, so you won't be plagued with holes in your hosta. Height: 18-20"
- White Feather: Unique, colour-changing leaves. The intriguing white leaves that emerge in the spring transform into a blend of green and cream as the plant matures. As an added bonus, lavender flowers bloom above the foliage. Height: 18-20"
