Description
Golden Tiara Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The broad basal foliage emerges green with irregular chartreuse margins that turn yellow, then turns creamy with chartreuse streaks in summer. Small bell-like lavender to purple flowers raise up on scapes in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
