Hosta Lime Piecrust

Lime Piecrust Hosta

Hosta ‘Lime Piecrust’ — a medium perennial hosta with a dense, mounded form, prized for its bright chartreuse foliage and strongly rippled leaf edges. The narrow, heart-shaped leaves have pronounced piecrust margins, clear veining, and a lively texture that creates strong movement in shade gardens. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer and attract hummingbirds.
