Hostas are not grown for their flowers but for their foliage. They come in a spectrum of blues, golds, greens, yellows and whites as well as variegated, some speckled and others striped. They thrive in the shade, even though they can withstand some sun, are long-lived and low-maintenance. Many hosta varieties have seasonal color or can change color depending on growing conditions. While there are well over 3,000 cultivars to choose from we offer a range of foliage shapes, colors and sizes. They can take years to fully mature, each year exhibiting a change in color, texture and form.
About this Variety
Hosta Lipstick Blonde is a newer hosta introduction and is a must for collectors. It is a one of a kind addition to the hosta garden. Its spectacular bright, sunshine yellow foliage pops on top of red contrasting stems, producing lavender flowers mid summer. Good for giving shade gardens a nice contrast of color. Big statement hosta.
