Time In A Bottle Hosta is a compact shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its narrow, moderately wavy yellow foliage that becomes more chartreuse in summer. The tall scapes of purple bell-like flowers that stay closed raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in part sun and moist well-drained soils.
