Hosta 'Yellow Splash Rim'

Yellow Splash Plantain Lily

Hosta 'Yellow Splash Rim' — a medium-sized variegated hosta valued for its medium green leaves bordered by bright yellow to golden margins. The broad foliage forms a neat mound, and the yellow edging remains vivid through much of the growing season, especially with some morning sun. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal color while the foliage remains the primary ornamental feature.

Features & Landscape Uses:
Its bright yellow edging makes it excellent for woodland gardens, edging, shade borders, and mixed hosta collections. Provides strong contrast with blue hostas, dark green foliage plants, and ferns.

Care:
Maintain evenly moist soil and mulch annually to conserve moisture. Morning sun improves margin color, but avoid strong afternoon heat. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom and clean old foliage in early spring. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed. 🌿
