Hosta ‘Lone Star’ is a perennial hosta with medium-green foliage and vivid gold margins. It is a green-centered sport of ‘Key West’ and produces near-white flowers on tall scapes in early summer. Bright filtered shade helps bring out strong gold coloration along the leaf margins.

This listing includes 1 live potted plant in a 2.5-inch pot. The plant is well rooted and has overwintered at the seller’s Wisconsin growing location. Hostas are suited to shaded landscape settings, woodland gardens, borders, and containers.

The seller ships the plant live and potted from May through mid-September, dormant and potted from mid-September through March, and potted and emerging in April. Young hostas may require another year or more to develop their characteristic coloration, form, and texture. Seasonal and environmental changes in foliage appearance are normal.
