Description

Wide Brim Hosta is a beloved and reliable gold-edged variety that has stood the test of time. It forms an attractive mound of heart-shaped, sea-green leaves, each elegantly framed by a wide, irregular margin that emerges chartreuse in spring and matures to a creamy gold. Lavender flowers appear in mid-summer. Its excellent coloration, vigor, and adaptability make it a foolproof choice for adding a touch of classic elegance to the shade garden.

Wide, Creamy-Gold Leaf Margins: Features attractive, heart-shaped leaves with wide, irregular borders that change from chartreuse in spring to a stable creamy gold.
Reliable and Sturdy Performer: Known for its garden toughness, good growth rate, and ability to maintain its attractive variegation throughout the growing season.
Versatile Medium Size: Forms a medium-large, rounded mound (18-24 inches tall and wide), suitable for mass planting, borders, or as an accent.
Brightens Partial to Full Shade: The gold margins effectively light up shady areas, with best color in morning sun or dappled light; afternoon sun may cause scorching.
A Time-Tested Garden Favorite: An enduringly popular cultivar due to its consistent beauty, ease of care, and excellent landscape performance.
