Touch of Class Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its dramatic foliage. The large, thick basal leaves are a dark cool blue-green with a blended gold and chartruese central flare. The fragrant bell-like lavender flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
