Hosta 'Sparkling Sunshine'

The luminous Hosta 'Sparkling Sunshine' delivers an absolute masterclass in rich, high-contrast pigmentation, making it a prized crown jewel for red-petiole collectors. This spectacular Don Dean creation breaks traditional shade molds, flashing solid, lightly corrugated bright yellow leaves that sit in stark, beautiful opposition to their deeply saturated, burgundy-red petioles. The foliage is elegantly folded and wavy with curved tips that blush a subtle crimson in the cool of spring, before settling into a warm, reflective chartreuse as summer advances. Possessing excellent substance that holds its dynamic posture perfectly, this glowing rosette finishes its seasonal show with pale lavender flowers cascading from matching burgundy scapes.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

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
