Invincible

Hosta "Invincible" review

The hosta Invincible is one of only a few varieties that we recommend for planting full sun. Invincible is somewhat of a fast growing hosta with very glossy, green heart shaped leaves . Fragrant lavender flowers appear in late summer. Unlike most hostas Invincible can easily tolerate extreme heat and full sun as long as it’s water needs are met. Good leaf substance with great pest resistance.
