Info | A beautiful plant with pointed, deeply veined leaves that emerge brilliant yellow in the spring, while edged by a deep green, heavily ruffled margin. A little morning or late afternoon sun helps keep the yellow leaf centers from turning chartreuse. In bright light, the leaf centers can even bleach to white. A good grower that holds up well, Hosta 'Dancing Darling' will form a 16" tall and 38" wide mound that blooms with fertile, lavender flowers in mid-summer. |
