Hosta Joshuas Banner Baptisia In late summer through fallThis splendid fast growing Gil Jones hybrid emerges brilliant yellow in the spring with a distinctive white border to each heavily ruffled leaf. As the season progresses, the leaf color changes to a more chartreuse gold, while the white border intensifies. In midsummer, the 3' wide clumps are topped with scapes of light lavender flowers. This has been a stunning specimen in our display gardens!
