Hosta Julia

Julia Hosta

Hosta ‘Julia’ — a medium perennial hosta with a rounded, mounded form, valued for its rich green leaves edged with creamy yellow to pale white margins that brighten shaded beds. The heart-shaped foliage has gentle texture, clear variegation, and a tidy symmetrical habit that remains attractive through the growing season. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
