Sun Hosta
Sun Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its colorful arching foliage. The large upright golden basal leaves are deeply veined and with rippled edges. Small bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in late spring or summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Sun Hosta tolerates and holds its color even in bright sun.
