Hosta Leola Fraim

Leola Fraim Hosta

Hosta ‘Leola Fraim’ — a large perennial hosta with a broad, mounded form, valued for its thick blue-green foliage and strong garden presence in shaded landscapes. The broad, heart-shaped leaves are heavily textured, slightly cupped, and deeply veined, forming a substantial clump with excellent substance and bold texture. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer on tall scapes and attract hummingbirds.
