Hosta 'Stained Glass'

Common Name: Hosta

  • A sport of 'Guacamole'
  • Huge, 10½" long, brilliant gold leaves with wide, dark green margins
  • Variegation appears early in the season and prominent veins throughout give it the look of "stained glass"
  • Large, fragrant, pale lavender flowers appear on 30" scapes in late summer
  • Exhibits greater sun tolerance

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.
