Hosta ‘Dancing Queen’ (Plantain Lily)

Incredibly eye-catching, Hosta ‘Dancing Queen’ (Plantain Lily) forms an open mound of large, broadly ovate, satiny, brilliant golden yellow leaves. Prominently veined, the leaves are adorned with particularly attractive pie-crust edges. The foliage lightens to soft yellow as the season progresses. Funnel-shaped pale lavender flowers appear in mid to late summer, rising on scapes 28 in. long (70 cm) but the primary contribution of this hosta is the dramatic coloring of its foliage.

• Forms a foliage mound up to 18 in. high (45 cm) and 30 in. wide (75 cm).
