Hosta Golden Sunburst

Golden Sunburst Hosta

Hosta ‘Golden Sunburst’ — a shade-loving perennial hosta grown for its bright golden-chartreuse foliage that adds strong color to woodland and shade gardens. The elongated, heart-shaped leaves are lightly puckered with visible veins and slightly wavy edges, forming a medium mound of foliage. Leaves emerge chartreuse in spring and mature to a richer golden tone through summer. Lavender flowers appear on upright scapes in mid-summer, rising above the foliage and attracting hummingbirds.
