Common Name: Hosta, Plantain Lily, Queen Josephine Plantain Lily
A stunning hosta showcasing its broad, lustrous, dark green, heart-shaped leaves surrounded with golden yellow margins that turn creamy white later in the season. Light purple funnel-shaped flowers borne on upright stems from mid summer through late summer. Fragrant and attractive to hummingbirds. This fast growing herbaceous perennial normally reaches 15 inches tall by 20 inches wide in upright, clumps habit. It enjoys full amount of sunlight but prefers partial sun to partial shade conditions in any moist, rich, average, well-drained soil. Queen Josephine hosta makes an awesome groundcover or specimen and can be used in mixed perennial borders and woodland gardens.
