Hosta Green Acres

Green Acres Hosta

Hosta ‘Green Acres’ — a large perennial hosta with a broad, mounded form, valued for its rich medium-green foliage and strong garden presence in shaded landscapes.

Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer on sturdy scapes and attract hummingbirds.
