Hosta 'Velvet Moon' - 2026

Hosta 'Velvet Moon' is a medium-sized perennial that forms a sturdy, clump-forming mound of foliage. The leaves are deep green in the centre with wide yellow-gold margins, often with a blue-green streak or glaucous tone in the middle, giving a vivid variegated contrast. In midsummer it produces clusters of soft purple (lavender) bell-shaped flowers held on upright stems, adding charm and seasonal interest to shaded or semi-shaded garden spots.

Beyond its appearance, 'Velvet Moon' is valued for its versatility and resilience. It tolerates partial sun better than many variegated hostas and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. The dense foliage helps suppress weeds and the plant returns reliably each year with minimal maintenance. Its striking foliage makes it ideal for borders, containers, or accent planting in woodland gardens.
