Hosta 'Birchwood Parky's Gold'

'Birchwood Parky's Gold' Hosta

Hosta ‘Birchwood Parky’s Gold’ — commonly known as Birchwood Parky’s Gold Hosta — is a medium-to-large perennial valued for its bright golden-yellow leaves that emerge chartreuse and intensify in color through the season. The broad foliage forms a full mound with lightly rippled texture, and pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft contrast to the bold leaf color.
