Product Description & Growing Information

• Description: This hosta is a seedling of 'Whisky Sour' and features bright yellow, slightly wavy leaves that emerge in spring and hold their color well, even in shade. The leaves are glossy and ovate, maturing to about 7 inches by 3 inches, with shiny undersides atop red petioles. It produces rich lavender, mid-season flowers on yellow scapes.
• Mature Size: The plant typically reaches about 10 inches in height and spreads to approximately 22 inches in width.
• Light Requirements: While the name suggests full sun, this variety prefers part sun to medium shade; the yellow color can lighten to near white with some direct sun. Most hostas need some shading, as very few do well in strong, direct light all day.
• Soil & Care: It grows well in average, rich, and well-drained soil, preferring consistent moisture but is more drought-tolerant than some other hostas.
• Hardiness Zones: It is hardy in zones 3 through 9.
