Description
Great Expectations Hosta is a spectacular and bold variegated variety that truly lives up to its name. Each large, rounded leaf features a brilliant, creamy-yellow center that matures to gold, surrounded by an irregular, wide border of deep blue-green. This dramatic coloration creates a stunning, luminous effect in the shade. A slow-growing but ultimately large focal point plant, it is sure to be the center of attention in any shade garden.
Dramatic Gold-Centered Variegation: Boasts large, thick leaves with a bright gold to creamy-yellow center and an irregular wide margin of blue-green.
Large and Substantial Presence: Grows slowly into a large, impressive mound, eventually reaching 2-3 feet in height and spread, making a perfect specimen plant.
A Living Focal Point for Shade: Its bold, bright foliage acts like a beacon, instantly drawing the eye and lighting up dark garden areas.
Prefers Filtered Shade: Needs protection from hot afternoon sun to prevent the golden centers from scorching; bright, dappled light is ideal.
Worth the Wait: While slower to establish than some hostas, its breathtaking beauty makes it a highly prized and rewarding plant for patient gardeners.
