Plant Type: Hostas

Hosta ‘Saint Elmo’s Fire’ has its leaves start in the spring where they have buttery yellow centers and will darken to light green with smooth pure white margins. In the summer, the contrast between the more mature green leaves and the new yellow foliage creates a multicolored effect. A good substance that blooms lavender flowers in midsummer.
