Description
Add bold contrast and striking texture to your Massachusetts garden with the Vulcan Hosta. Known for its brilliant white leaves edged in deep blue-green with hints of chartreuse-gold, this variety truly stands out in shaded beds and borders. In mid to late summer, tall white scapes topped with lavender tubular flowers rise above the foliage, bringing seasonal interest and pollinator appeal. The fine-textured, variegated leaves create a dynamic display against darker plants or evergreens.
The Vulcan Hosta thrives in Massachusetts' climate, preferring moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade. It forms a dense, low mound that works beautifully for mass planting, groundcover, or border edging. This perennial is low maintenance—just cut back spent foliage in early spring to keep it tidy and vibrant. With its showy foliage and elegant flowers, the Vulcan Hosta is a reliable performer in any New England landscape.
