Hosta ‘One Last Dance’

Product Details

The artfully variegated foliage of Hosta ‘One Last Dance’ features dark green centers with irregular edges that produce broad variations in the vivid yellow margins, which shade chartreuse or pale yellow as the season progresses. Large, pale lavender flowers appear on tall, gently arching stems in midsummer, adding to the colorful show. PP 30,000

This genus of shade lovers has 70 species, all of them from China and Japan, and hybridizers have produced hundreds of exciting crosses. Hostas have many handsome leaf colorations and lavender or white Lily-like flowers on graceful stalks. Plants prefer a moist location, but we’ve had a mass planting thrive for more than 30 years under a row of Sugar Maples. (In the South and West, evenly moist soil is required.) Because Hostas are grown primarily for their foliage, we give the height of the leaves, not the flowers.
