Hosta 'Banana Kid' - 2026

Hosta 'Banana Kid' is a hardy perennial valued for its striking, bright yellow-green foliage that forms compact, rounded clumps, adding vibrant colour to shaded gardens. In midsummer, upright spikes of pale lavender flowers emerge above the foliage, providing light texture and attracting pollinators. Its bold leaf colour and tidy habit make it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, or container planting.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, 'Banana Kid' is hardy and low-maintenance. The ornamental foliage maintains its vivid colour throughout the season, while the summer flowers enhance garden biodiversity. Its combination of striking leaf colour, reliable growth, and seasonal blooms makes it a versatile choice for adding structure, texture, and bright highlights to shaded garden areas.
