Hosta fluctuans 'Sagae'

Hosta

Hosta of the Year in 2000! This lovely Hosta grows into a large mound of frosty green leaves with creamy-yellow margins. Pale lavender flowers. Its heavy substance makes it a beautiful accent plant in the shaded border.

Hosta (hos'-ta)

Family: Liliaceae · Common Name: Plantain Lily, Funkia

Hostas come in a wide array of sizes, leaf colors and leaf shapes. Spikes of bell-shaped flowers are white or lavender and bloom spring and summer. Large hostas are stunning as accent plants. Small varieties are great in mixed plantings or rock gardens.
