Plantain Lily 'Happy Dayz', Happy Dayz Hosta
Hosta ‘Happy Dayz’ (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming a cheerful mound of large, thick, heart-shaped, lightly corrugated, brilliant yellow leaves with wide blue-green margins. As the season progresses, the yellow centers brighten to parchment, and the margins turn dark green. Racemes of lavender flowers appear in midsummer, rising on scapes 32 in. tall (80 cm). Moderately fast-growing, this foliage plant is a sport of award-winning ‘Orange Marmalade‘ and is excellent for borders but also suitable for planting in mixed containers and tubs.
