Hosta ‘Shade Fanfare’

Mature Shade Fanfare hosta plant

Hosta ‘Shade Fanfare’ has a subtle beauty that I find so appealing I have positioned both of my Shade Fanfares in gardens near windows so I can also enjoy them from inside the house. The leaves of this hosta are a light to medium green, with wide margins that start out as yellow in the spring and change to creamy white. The tips of the leaves curve downward, are slightly wavy, and have good substance. Shade Fanfare has very tall scapes, funnel-shaped light lavender flowers, and produces lots of seed pods.
