Hosta Holy Mole

Holy Mole Hosta

Hosta ‘Holy Mole’ — a large perennial hosta with a broad, mounded form, known for its dramatic gold-centered leaves bordered by dark green margins. The thick, heart-shaped foliage is deeply veined and slightly corrugated, with bright centers that intensify through the season, creating bold contrast in shade gardens. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer on sturdy scapes and attract hummingbirds.
