Golden Tiara Hosta

Hosta x 'Golden Tiara'

Golden Tiara Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous  perennial primarily grown for its foliage.  The broad basal foliage emerges green with irregular chartreuse margins that turn yellow, then turns creamy with chartreuse streaks in summer.  Small bell-like lavender to purple flowers raise up on scapes in mid summer attracting  butterflies and  pollinators.  Best color in  partial sun and moist well-drained soils.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings,  Borders,  Woodland Gardens,  Naturalized Areas,  Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:   Columbine,  Lungwort,  Bleeding Heart
