Hosta ‘Twilight’
Hosta Twilight is a sport of Fortunei Aureomarginata and has dark green leaves with wide, creamy to yellow, wavy margins. The leaves are round and thick, somewhat shiny, and very slug-resistant. This hosta has been a fairly slow grower for me, although some sources list Twilight as fast-growing. The funnel-shaped flowers are lavender, have no scent, appear in late July or August, and result in a small number of seed pods. Most of the seedlings I have grown from this hosta have been the same green as the inner portion of the leaf, although a few were the very attractive yellowish lime-green of the leaf margin.
