Hosta Janet

Janet Hosta

Hosta ‘Janet’ — a medium perennial hosta with a neat, mounded form, grown for its dark green leaves edged with creamy white margins that brighten shaded beds. The heart-shaped foliage has moderate substance, slight texture, and clear variegation, forming a tidy symmetrical clump through the season. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
