Hosta 'Niagara Falls'

Niagara Falls' Hosta '

Hosta 'Niagara Falls' — a large dramatic hosta prized for its cascading mound of long, heavily rippled blue-green to deep green leaves. The foliage arches downward in layers, creating a waterfall-like effect that gives this cultivar its name. Pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal interest while the flowing leaf form remains the main ornamental feature.
