Product Details

Introduce rare and stunning Hosta varieties to your garden with these White & Red Hosta Plant Seeds. Known for their lush, textured foliage, hostas are a favorite among shade gardeners for their low-maintenance growth and striking leaf colors. These uncommon varieties offer silvery-white or red-tinged foliage, adding a unique visual appeal to garden beds, walkways, and shaded areas.

Hostas thrive in cool, shaded environments, making them an excellent choice for woodland gardens, under trees, and along pathways. In summer, they produce tall, elegant flower stalks with delicate blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Their dense foliage also helps suppress weeds, making them both decorative and functional.
