Hosta - Night Before Christmas

Hosta ‘Night Before Christmas’ is a refined variegated hosta that captures attention with wide, dark green margins framing a bright white center—a dramatic and elegant contrast perfect for shady garden corners. This sport of Hosta ‘White Christmas’ boasts glossy, substantial foliage and earns high marks for both beauty and garden performance. It carries the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Starting in mid to late summer, the foliage is topped with tall scapes (up to about 34 in / ~85 cm) bearing clusters of pale lavender tubular flowers that add additional visual interest and attract hummingbirds and songbirds.
