Hosta Hi Class

Common Name:
Hosta 'Hi Class'

Description:
Hosta 'Hi Class' is a sophisticated and eye-catching variety known for its bold, upright foliage and vibrant colour contrast. Its large, slightly cupped leaves feature bright chartreuse to gold centres bordered by wide, irregular blue-green margins. As the season progresses, the leaf centres mature to a creamy yellow, giving this hosta a dynamic presence throughout the growing season. Ideal for shaded or partially shaded gardens in Melbourne, 'Hi Class' thrives in rich, well-drained soil and appreciates consistent moisture, especially during warmer months. In mid to late summer, tall, elegant scapes emerge bearing soft lavender flowers, adding vertical interest and attracting pollinators. With its dramatic foliage and tidy habit, Hosta 'Hi Class' is perfect for use in woodland borders, feature containers, or as a mass planting in shaded garden beds.
