If you’re after bold, luminous foliage that thrives in shade, ‘August Moon’ delivers in spades. This classic golden-leaf hosta forms large, mounded clumps of heart-shaped leaves that start out chartreuse and brighten to a rich golden-yellow as the season progresses. Lavender flowers emerge in midsummer, attracting hummingbirds, while the rugged, deeply textured foliage resists slugs and deer. Hardy, low-maintenance, and perfect for brightening up shady spaces, ‘August Moon’ is a must-have for hosta lovers.
