Golden Tiara Hosta
Hosta ‘Golden Tiara’ · a gold-edged hosta
A compact, quick-clumping hosta whose green leaves carry wide chartreuse edges that turn gold with a little sun, made for edging paths and carpeting shady beds, with purple flowers in summer. Keep it out of hot afternoon sun, and protect it from deer, who find hostas delicious.
