Hosta On Stage
Plant number: 1.277.880
(='Choko Nishiki') Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This unusual, compact specimen selection has bright yellow leaves with bold green streaks along the margins. Lavender flowers in appear July. Best colour is in morning sun. Suitable also for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years. Registered by Paul Aden in 1986 but apparently identical to the Japanese selection 'Choko Nishiki'.
