AUREO MARGINATA

Hosta fortunei 'Aureomarginata' — Aureo Marginata is a classic, time-tested hosta prized for its bold, heart-shaped dark green leaves edged with a bright golden-yellow margin that brightens with the season. A vigorous, reliable performer that naturalizes beautifully in shade gardens, it produces lavender flower spikes in summer and is an outstanding choice for borders, woodland gardens, and mass plantings under trees.
