Brighten your shady spots with help from this reliable, low maintenance perennial. There are over 1,000 Hosta varieties, but this one won the top award for performance, color and low-growing form.
Rainforest Sunrise Hosta (Hosta 'Rainforest Sunrise') is a bold variety that makes an unforgettable ribbon of tightly-packed gold and green foliage. This durable choice unfurls and spreads to fill in the base of larger shade plants for a showy splash of color.
Forming a well-behaved mound, the new leaves come in dipped in gold. Over the season, the leaves take on a darker green margin that highlights their pretty shape.
You'll flip for the lush looks of a mature stand of Rainforest Sunrise Hosta! Grow this spectacular dwarf variety as a groundcover, or use them as "Filler" near the edges of your outdoor containers.
It's extremely cold-hardy, and shouldn't need winter protection unless you live way up north near the boundary waters. Hosta have earned their reputation as easy-care perennials.
They are certainly easy enough for beginners to gain success. But Rainforest Sunrise Hosta satisfies even the most discriminating collector.
The coloration catches all available light and reflects it in a soft sheen. It makes a wonderful complement to darker, larger options, such as Elegans Hosta.
In summer, you'll be delighted with their fragrant blooms. The pale lavender offsets the variegated foliage brilliantly.
Because the flowers are held above the foliage on long, slender scapes...they sway and nod in summer breezes. This welcome sense of motion helps cool you down on those long afternoons.
Hummingbirds, honey bees and butterflies of all kinds will visit these pretty blooms, too. They are nectar-rich, with an "easy-access" shape; and they bloom at an important time of the season.
Thoughtfully planned Shade Gardens can help you and your loved ones cultivate a rewarding hobby as serene nature-watchers! You'll definitely want to plan a seating area near your shade garden to enjoy your space.
Garden design professionals look for plants that give visual interest at every layer. Use Rainforest Sunrise Hosta near the edge of the planting to polish the look.
