Hosta 'Time in a Bottle' Bare Root Starter Plant | Yellow Chartreuse Shade Perennial with Purple Flowers

Add texture and color to your shade garden with Hosta 'Time in a Bottle', a unique perennial known for its narrow yellow leaves and moderately wavy foliage. As the season progresses, the bright yellow leaves mature into attractive chartreuse tones, creating long-lasting visual interest in shaded landscapes.

In late summer, deep purple flowers emerge on tall stems, providing a striking contrast against the vibrant foliage. One of the most unusual features of this hosta is its flowers, which remain closed rather than opening fully, allowing them to stay attractive on the stems for an extended period.
