Hosta ‘Ki Ren Jyaku’
Hosta 'Ki Ren Jyaku' is a medium sized plantain lily with fully double lavender flowers and corrugated, yellow foliage.
Hosta ‘Ki Ren Jyaku’ comes to us directly from Japan! This plantain lily is better known for its flowers than its foliage! Fully double lavender flowers bloom from mid to late summer rising above its show-stopping, corrugated foliage that emerges light green in spring transforming to chartreuse in the summer. Provides glamour and bragging rights in shade gardens, borders and containers. Attracts hummingbirds.
