August Moon Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage. The heart-shaped leaves are deeply veined and open chartreuse-green and mature to golden. Small bell-like lavender-white flowers raise up in terminals from the greyish-yellow rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. August Moon is more sun tolerant than most Hosta.
