Hosta Camelot

Camelot Hosta

Hosta ‘Camelot’ — commonly known as Camelot Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial prized for its rich green leaves edged with broad creamy-white margins that create a crisp, bright appearance in shade gardens. The slightly rippled foliage forms a symmetrical mound, and pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color.

Mature Size:
Width: 2–3 ft

Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for shade borders, woodland gardens, edging, and mixed hosta plantings. Bright variegation helps illuminate darker planting areas and pairs well with blue hostas and ferns.

Care: Maintain even moisture during dry periods to prevent leaf edge browning. Divide in spring or early fall when clumps become crowded. Remove spent flower stalks after flowering. 🌿✨
