Hosta 'Alligator Alley' - 2026

Hosta 'Alligator Alley' is a hardy, shade-loving perennial valued for its dramatic variegated foliage. The leaves are thick, puckered, and heavily textured, with striking blue-green margins that contrast beautifully against bright yellow centres. In summer, upright spikes of pale lavender flowers rise above the mound, bringing additional colour and attracting pollinators to the garden. Its bold foliage and strong form make it a standout feature in shaded areas.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, 'Alligator Alley' is both hardy and low-maintenance. The decorative foliage provides lasting impact throughout the growing season, while its seasonal flowers contribute to garden biodiversity. Ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or large containers, this variety adds structure, colour contrast, and texture to garden plantings.
