Hosta 'August Moon'

Common Name: Hosta

  • Large, heart-shaped leaves are bright gold to chartreuse depending on the amount of sun exposure
  • They are corrugated, wavy, and of good substance making them slug resistant
  • Tolerates full sun which will intensify the gold color of the leaves
  • Pale lavender, open bell-shaped flowers are prolifically produced on 24" scapes in mid to late summer

Hostas are exceedingly popular perennials in today's gardens due to their versatility in the landscape. Their subtle colors, tall flower scapes, and broad, coarse leaves fill a niche in garden designs that few other plants can achieve. Their large leaves provide excellent coverage for dying bulb foliage. Hostas also grow well in city environments where the air may be polluted by car exhaust, etc.
