Hosta 'Colored Hulk'

Hosta 'Colored Hulk' is a striking perennial known for its vibrant, variegated foliage. The leaves are a rich green with wide, irregular golden-yellow margins, providing a bold and colorful display throughout the growing season. Its robust, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for shaded garden beds, borders, or containers. In summer, tall scapes emerge bearing pale lavender flowers that add an extra layer of interest.

Hosta 'Colored Hulk' thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soils and is relatively low-maintenance. It is deer-resistant but may require some protection in areas with heavy deer browsing. This hosta is an excellent companion for other shade-loving plants like ferns, astilbes, and heucheras. Regular watering during dry periods and occasional fertilization will help maintain its vibrant foliage and lush growth. The bold, contrasting colors make it a standout feature in any shade garden.
