A Hosta as sweet as So Sweet is hard to imagine&33; The foliage of this plantain lily is heart&45;shaped & each leaf has a wonderful golden yellow margin that gradually turns to white as the season progresses from spring into summer. This hardy perennial looks great when planted in groups in borders & it also goes well in a rock garden & even in containers. Voted Hosta of the Year in America back in 1996, Hosta So Sweet is a medium&45;sized variety that produces fragrant white flowers in summer. It appreciates a moist, humus&45;rich soil & some feed between March & June. This is a Hosta that can tolerate full sun & also grows well in partial shade.
