Hosta 'Hoosier Harmony'

Hoosier Harmony Plantain Lily, Hosta, Plantain Lily

Hosta 'Hoosier Harmony' — a medium-sized variegated hosta valued for its creamy yellow to soft ivory leaf centers framed by broad dark green margins. The broad, slightly corrugated leaves form a balanced mound and provide strong contrast in shade gardens throughout the growing season. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the primary ornamental feature.
