Hosta 'Trendsetter'

The captivating Hosta 'Trendsetter' commands immediate attention in the shade garden, living up to its name with a dynamic, wide-spreading habit and radiant seasonal color shifts. Masterfully hybridized by Hans Hansen from an elite cross of 'Empress Wu' and a streaked 'Niagara Falls', this patented perennial forms a low, broad mound of gently cupped, heart-shaped green leaves edged with wide, heavily rippled margins. The undulating borders emerge a vibrant golden-yellow in spring before gradually lightening to a crisp, creamy white over the summer, creating continuous visual interest beneath the woodland canopy before sending up 30-inch scapes of pale lavender tubular flowers in midsummer.

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
