Lush apple green leaves with a glossy sheen form vigorous clumps that brighten shady areas with their fresh, vibrant colour. The heart shaped foliage remains pristine throughout summer, resisting slug damage better than many other types, while developing golden tones as autumn approaches. Fragrant white flowers appear in profusion on tall stems during late summer, their sweet scent perfuming the air and attracting pollinators when little else blooms in shade gardens. More tolerant of sun and drought than most hostas, it thrives in various conditions while maintaining its robust appearance. Perfect for creating luminous contrasts in woodland borders or beneath trees, the cheerful leaves combine beautifully with ferns and astilbes. A reliable performer that brings both foliage interest and late season flowers to challenging shady spots, with the added benefit of delightful evening fragrance.
