Liberty Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its erect spear shaped blue-green foliage with dramatic streaked yellow margins that fade to cream. The tall scapes of pale lavender bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Liberty has excellent slug resistance.
