Description
Hosta Color Festival is a compact deciduous perennial with broadly ovate tricolor leaves: creamy-white centers, irregular yellow-green flashes, and crisp dark-green margins.
Tall pale scapes carry loose clusters of fragrant pale lavender tubular flowers in summer. Moist shade protects the luminous leaf centers from scorch and makes this medium mound useful for edging, woodland beds, and containers.
