Hosta Plantain Lily Lipstick Blonde

Hosta ‘Lipstick Blonde’ is a unique and eye-catching hosta variety prized for its striking contrast of golden-yellow stems paired with lush green foliage. The bright, lipstick-colored petioles create a bold visual accent, especially when viewed from the side or back of a planting. Compact yet vibrant, this hosta is perfect for shaded garden beds, borders, containers, or woodland-style plantings, adding texture, color, and elegance throughout the growing season.
