Aureomarginata Hosta is a compact shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The large heart-shaped basal leaves are dark to olive green with irregular golden margins. Small bell-like lavender flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
