Hosta - Stained Glass
The Hosta Stained Glass, Hosta 'Stained Glass', is a sport of the hosta ‘Guacamole’ and was Hosta of the year in 2006.  It is considered one of the best hostas to be released in years! It has shiny, deeply veined, golden foliage which almost appears to give the leaves a stained glass effect.  Each leaf is surrounded by a dark green margin.  The fragrant lavender flowers of this hosta appear in late summer, providing bright color in shade along with its colorful foliage. ‘Stained Glass’ is a sun tolerant hosta and should be planted in any moist, well-drained spot.  This low care perennial is ideal for tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants.  A great choice for any beginner gardener! Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  ‘Stained Glass’ is most at home in woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant.  Since it exhibits some sun tolerance, it can be located in partial sun to partial shade. * Golden foliage * Fragrant flowers * Superb grower
