Description
Silk Road Hosta is a vibrant perennial ideal for shaded beds in Massachusetts gardens. Its heart-shaped leaves feature dark green centers with wide, yellow margins that mature to creamy white, creating a fresh, layered look. In mid-summer, spikes of pale lavender flowers emerge above the lush foliage, attracting bees and butterflies to your landscape. Silk Road Hosta is perfect for adding color, texture, and seasonal contrast to containers or borders.
This durable, low-maintenance hosta is a natural fit for the New England climate. Silk Road Hosta thrives in part to full shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil. It forms a dense clump that suppresses weeds and softens garden edges with graceful curves. Clean up in early spring keeps it looking its best throughout the growing season.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
