Diamond Tiara Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their dense foliage. The glossy heart shaped basal leaves are medium green with a crisp white wavy margin. The bell-like pale purple flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
