Hosta nakaiana 'Golden Tiara'

Plantain Lily

Golden Tiara's small heart-shaped verigated leaves of medium green change from chartreuse-colored margins to gold when planted in sun. This compact grower, also known as Funkia or Plantain Lily, exhibits good form and persistent color throughout the season and is an excellent choice for edging a bed. Deep purple to lavender funnel-shaped flowers emerge in summer high above the compact foliage.
