Hosta Dancing in the Moonlight #1

Common Name: Hosta

Extremely ruffled leaves give this Hosta the impression of ‘dancing’ in the shade garden. Leaf edges fold up to display ruffling that extends from the tip of the leaf down the length of the petiole. Leaves are glaucus blue with heavy rippling and wide creamy white margins. Near white flowers are held on proportionate scapes, first appearing in midsummer.

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.
