Hosta - Gold Standard
Hosta fortunei ‘Gold Standard’ is a classic medium-to-large clumping perennial renowned for its striking seasonal foliage. Leaves emerge chartreuse‑green in spring and gradually deepen to a rich golden yellow with a dark green margin, often fading to creamy white by late summer. Its broad, cordate, seersuckered leaves form a graceful mound, topped in mid‑summer by tall scapes of lavender‑pink, funnel‑shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds. Known for its vigor, adaptable nature, and tolerance of various soil types, it thrives with minimal care in shaded landscapes.
