Hosta 'Pineapple Upside Down Cake'
Plantain Lily 'Pineapple Upside Down Cake'
Hosta are popular perennials for shady areas. Grown for their architectural qualities and sumptuous foliage topped with lily-like blooms. The flowers appear in mid-summer. Hosta go completely dormant in the autumn, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid-spring. Easily divided in either spring or autumn. 'Pineapple Upside Down Cake' has narrow, long leaves that are green when they first emerge, and then develop a narrow dark green margin and golden yellow centre. In late Summer spires of lavender flowers appear
