Hosta 'August Moon'

Hosta ‘August Moon’ (Hosta sieboldiana ‘August Moon’) is a standout shade perennial prized for its large, heart-shaped, golden-yellow leaves that brighten dark garden corners. As the season progresses, the foliage deepens to chartreuse or gold depending on sun exposure. This mounding hosta is both slug-resistant and low-maintenance, producing pale lavender flower spikes in midsummer that attract pollinators. Ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or as a statement in containers.
