Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I'm not sure if "glow in the dark" is a selling description for a plant, but this brilliant golden leaved Hosta will brighten up a shade garden day or night. Plants grow 16" tall and up to 3' across. Lavender flowers appear on 2' scapes in early summer.

Unlike other yellow hostas which emerge or turn chartreuse, 'Dancing Queen' emerges bright yellow and remains yellow all season long. The large leaves have a prominent pie crust edge, adding even more pizzazz to this colourful hosta. In mid to late summer, the foliage lightens to soft yellow and the clump is topped with pale lavender flowers. This one is a must-have! Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.

Hosta 'Dancing Queen' is a lovely large yellow hosta that emerges bright yellow in the spring. The bright yellow color holds well into the season but it does eventually turn more chartreuse in mid-summer. Large pointed leaves are deeply veined and have a ruffled edge. Form is somewhat vase-shaped and clumps are topped with lavender flowers in mid summer. One of my favorite large yellows.
