Stained Glass Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage. The large, leathery basal leaves are bright gold with deep green margins and deep veins. Large bell-like pale purple 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.
