Hosta Harmony

Harmony Hosta

Hosta ‘Harmony’ — a medium perennial hosta with a rounded, mounded form, grown for its soft green leaves edged in creamy white that create a balanced, elegant look in shade gardens. The heart-shaped foliage is slightly cupped with gentle texture and clear variegation, forming a neat clump that brightens shaded borders. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
