Hosta Brim Cup

Brim Cup Hosta

Hosta ‘Brim Cup’ — commonly known as Brim Cup Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial valued for its cupped blue-green leaves with creamy yellow to ivory centers that brighten through the season. The thick, puckered foliage forms a neat mound, and the cupped leaf shape gives the plant extra texture and visual depth in shaded gardens. Pale lavender flowers appear above the foliage in midsummer on upright scapes.
