Description: This unique and brightly coloured hosta will add a pop of colour to the shade garden! ‘Dancing Darling’ features lightly corrugated, pointy golden yellow leaves with a light green margin. Tubular pale lilac blooms appear in early to midsummer, rising on spikes held above the foliage.
Ornamental Features: Medium sized, teardrop-shaped leaves emerge golden yellow in spring, bordered by a thin, bright green margin. The yellow mellows to chartreuse as the season progresses, retaining its eye-catching brightness. The lilac, bell-like flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators, and contrast beautifully against the luminous leaves.
Landscape Features: Perfect for the shade garden, mixed with other perennials in bed and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens or containers. Great as a groundcover or underplanting shrubs and roses. Also looks good in larger containers.
