Hosta ‘Velvet Moon’ Description

Hosta ‘Velvet Moon’ is a handsome variegated hosta valued for its glowing margins, strong foliage, and rich contrast in shaded gardens. It forms a sturdy mound of broad, dark green leaves edged in yellow to gold, creating a warm halo effect that stands out beautifully against darker shade plants. Grown in partial shade with moist, fertile soil, it works well in mixed borders, woodland plantings, containers, and as a bright accent among blue or solid green hostas. In summer, lavender flowers rise above the mound and add a soft floral note without distracting from the foliage display. For gardeners wanting a dependable variegated hosta with warm color, good substance, and a polished mound, Hosta ‘Velvet Moon’ is a pleasing choice.
