Plantain Lily 'Geisha', 'Geisha' Hosta, Hosta 'Ani Machi'
Hosta ‘Geisha’ (Plantain Lily) forms an upright mound of elongated, arching, glossy, golden yellow leaves, widely margined dark olive green. Slightly rippled, the leaves are gracefully twisted toward their tip. Star-like pale violet flowers appear in late summer, rising on scapes 26 in. long (65 cm) but the primary contribution of this hosta is the dramatic coloring of its foliage.
