Hosta 'Xanadu'

Xanadu Hosta

Hosta 'Xanadu' — a medium to large hosta valued for its blue-green foliage, broad leaves, and gently rippled texture that forms a full, graceful mound. The leaves have good substance and maintain a cool tone through much of the season, especially in filtered shade. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the main ornamental feature.
