Description

Wide, dark green margins stand in sharp contrast to the bright yellow centers in early spring. As summer approaches, the centers become more chartreuse when plants are grown in heavier shade or lighter yellow if grown in more sun. Showy red speckled petioles bleed up into the leaves. Dark lavender flowers ‘Island Breeze’ was named the 2022 Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Growers Association! Height: 12″ Spread: 18″ Scape Height: 28″ Water: average and consistent Bloom time: mid-summer Attracts: hummingbirds and bees Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth. Morning sun is tolerable, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly. Hostas are very easy to propagate through division (can be done at any time during growing season). https://www.waltersgardens.com/ photo credit: Walters Gardens
