Hosta Honeysong

Honeysong Hosta

Hosta ‘Honeysong’ — a medium perennial hosta with a rounded, mounded form, valued for its soft green leaves edged in warm golden-yellow that brighten shaded plantings. The heart-shaped foliage has gentle texture and clear variegation, with margins that become richer in color through the season, forming an attractive symmetrical clump. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
