Hosta "Five O'Clock Shadow" review
A one inch medium green margin surrounds a golden leaf center that becomes lighter as the season progresses creating a very pleasing color combination. The large clump is taller than average and light lavender flowers top out early in the season, June here in North Carolina. Great for that spot in the garden that gets a couple hours of strong light around noon but avoid early morning and hot afternoon sun. It's subtle but bright color is sure to catch your eye. Introduced for the first time at the AHS National Convention in Minnesota.
