Description
Hosta Green Acres
Hosta Green Acres is a superb giant hosta prized for its impressive size, lush green foliage and strong garden performance. Forming a substantial clump of large, deeply corrugated heart-shaped leaves, this classic variety creates a bold architectural presence in shaded borders and woodland gardens. Its rich green foliage provides outstanding texture and structure from spring through autumn.
During summer, tall upright stems rise above the foliage carrying attractive lavender-purple flowers that bring additional seasonal interest and attract pollinators to the garden. As the plant matures, it develops into a striking specimen capable of becoming a focal point in larger planting schemes.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.
