This grower is sure of this plant identification.
Unusual small to medium sized plant. Glossy mid green leaf with a chartreuse yellow centre. The whole leaf blade has a sort of sideways tweak to it, something which I feel gives an inscrutable oriental edge which fits the name. It works well in containers too, and would suit hand thrown pots very well. Will take most positions, clump about 60cm wide in time.
Hosta ‘Geisha’. Unusual Hosta with green leaves with a wide, yellow-green central stripe. Clump to about 60cm.
All Hostas need some shade and few will thrive in open strong sunlight. A general rule is that the lighter foliage, the brighter the sunlight that will be tolerated. Variegated varieties tend to require more sun to keep their white, light green or gold stripes. The darker, bluer varieties need more shade.
Once established, Hostas are pretty tough and will spread horizontally to make excellent ground cover.
Grown for their decorative foliage. Form large clumps that are excellent for ground cover. Attracts humming birds in suitable geographical locations.
