Description
Forbidden Fruit Hosta is a stunning variegated variety prized for its unique blend of colors and bold foliage. Large, rounded leaves feature creamy yellow centers highlighted by warm orange tones and surrounded by wide, irregular blue-green margins.

In mid-summer, Forbidden Fruit Hosta produces elegant spikes of lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, adding another layer of seasonal beauty. Easy to grow and dependable, this medium-sized hosta thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil.
