Hosta 'Lust in the Dust'

The sensational Hosta 'Lust in the Dust' infuses rich, dramatic texture and a distinct playful charm into low-light settings, performing beautifully as a conversation-starting medium landscape accent. Introduced by hybridizer Jeff Moore from a spectacular cross of 'Jessica Alba' and 'Key West', this coveted selection develops an upright, twisted, and heavily ruffled mound of striking architecture. The thick, rubbery lime-green leaves feature deep surface veining, cupped bases, and long, elegantly tapered tips that arc gracefully to catch filtering woodland light. True to its provocative form, the foliage is held atop sturdy petioles that display subtle red speckling and boasts glaucous, bright white leaf undersides that contrast sharply with the vibrant chartreuse canopy whenever ruffled by a summer breeze. In midsummer, sturdy scapes lift delicate clusters of tubular, soft lavender-blue flowers neatly above the dense, slug-resistant mound.

Incorporate this unique selection into your shaded borders or woodland features by pairing it with delicate, shade-loving ferns, fine-textured variegated sedges, or the rich crimson plumes of dramatic astilbes to elevate the underlying textures of your garden layout.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
