Hosta Specimen Designer Genes

1 GALLON POT 
(Plantain Lily)

Zone 3

Partial Shade/Shade

One of the most popular perennial for the shade gardens. Hostas offer an amazing palette of colours, sizes and textures. They can be used in beds or containers. Please note for height - the number in brackets is the height of the bloom scapes, the number outside is the foliage height.

Prized for its brilliant foliage and red stems, Hosta ‘Designer Genes’ is a fabulous addition to shady areas where it forms a small mound of widely oval, heart-shaped, brilliant golden-yellow leaves. Shiny above and matte below, the luminous foliage contrasts beautifully with the showy bright red petioles. Later in the season, the foliage mellows to a more chartreuse green colour. Funnel-shaped lavender blooms appear in late summer, rising on red scapes 24” tall.
