Hosta ‘High Society’

Product Details

A sport of beloved Hosta ‘June,’ petite Hosta ‘High Society’ is smaller in size than its parent and displays differences in the variegation of its foliage: Each leaf is defined by a notably broad blue-green margin and a golden center that changes to white in summer. Bell-shaped pink-to-lavender flowers float above the leaves in late summer. ‘High Society’ can be a bit slow to develop but patience is amply rewarded. PP 17,313

This genus of shade lovers has 70 species, all of them from China and Japan, and hybridizers have produced hundreds of exciting crosses. Hostas have many handsome leaf colorations and lavender or white Lily-like flowers on graceful stalks. Plants prefer a moist location, but we’ve had a mass planting thrive for more than 30 years under a row of Sugar Maples. (In the South and West, evenly moist soil is required.) Because Hostas are grown primarily for their foliage, we give the height of the leaves, not the flowers.
