Description
Hosta Grand Marquee
Hosta Grand Marquee is a striking variegated hosta prized for its dramatic foliage and excellent garden performance. Broad blue-green margins surround vibrant golden-yellow centres, creating a stunning contrast that brightens shaded areas throughout the growing season. As the leaves mature, the centres gradually soften to creamy white, adding further interest and colour variation. This compact clump-forming perennial is perfect for borders, woodland gardens and patio containers.
During summer, elegant stems rise above the foliage carrying attractive lavender flowers that provide additional seasonal interest and attract pollinators to the garden. The thick foliage offers good resistance to slugs and snails, making this variety both beautiful and reliable.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.
