Pocketful of Sunshine Hosta is a dwarf shade-loving perennial primarily grown for its textured deep green basal foliage with chartreuse centers that brightens with age. The small pale lavender bell-like flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
