Orange Marmalade Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its attractive foliage with broad irregular deep green margins and a bright green center that quickly transitions to tangerine-gold and slowly fade to ivory. 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.
