Hosta Heliarc

Heliarc Hosta

Hosta ‘Heliarc’ — a medium perennial hosta with a broad, mounded form, grown for its bright golden-yellow foliage that holds strong color through the season in shade gardens. The broad, slightly cupped leaves have gentle texture and clear veining, forming a full clump that brings warm contrast to darker hostas and woodland plantings. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
