Hosta - Christmas Tree
Bring a touch of the holidays to your summer garden with the Hosta 'Christmas Tree.' This striking perennial forms handsome mounds of dark green, rounded leaves, distinguished by a unique golden margin that softens to creamy white. Its heavily corrugated foliage offers natural resistance to slugs. In summer, it produces lovely lavender flowers, which later give way to beautiful reddish-purple seed pods. This larger hosta variety thrives in shady areas, making it perfect for mixed containers and tubs, adding a festive touch to your landscape.
