Description
Spartacus Hosta adds bold color and texture to Massachusetts shade gardens with its dome-shaped mound of deeply veined blue-green leaves. The heavily rippled yellow margins enhance the dramatic foliage, while pale lavender tubular flowers bloom in early to mid-summer. Spartacus Hosta’s coarse texture makes it a standout feature among finer-leaved perennials.
Hardy and adaptable, Spartacus Hosta thrives in shady conditions common across Massachusetts landscapes. It’s ideal for mass planting, border edging, or use as groundcover beneath trees. This low-maintenance perennial returns reliably each season with minimal care—simply remove spent foliage in early spring. Spartacus Hosta combines beauty and function in any garden design.
