Add bold color and texture to your shade garden with Hosta 'Stained Glass', a premium starter plant shipped bare root and ready to grow. A sport of the popular 'Guacamole' hosta, this stunning variety features huge brilliant gold leaves with wide dark green margins and prominent veining that creates the appearance of beautiful stained glass. Throughout the growing season, its vibrant foliage provides exceptional contrast in garden beds, borders, woodland gardens, and containers.

In late summer, large fragrant pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage on tall scapes, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal interest. With greater sun tolerance than many hostas, 'Stained Glass' is a versatile and eye-catching addition to any landscape.
