Hosta kikutii

Hostas are popular, shade-loving plants, grown mainly for their beautiful foliage, although most varieties also have pretty, tubular flowers. Hosta leaves come in a wide range of shapes, colours, sizes, and textures, so there's a huge choice to suit you and your garden.

Hosta kikutii produces narrow green leaves with deep veining and distinctive margins. It flowers later than most other hosta types, between June and October.

For best results, grow in partial shade, ideally with some morning sun to bring out the colour of the leaves. Hosta kikutii thrives in rich, moist soil with plenty of organic matter added to the soil before planting.
