Hosta Golden Tiara forms a compact, small to medium mound of 30cm-38cm in height, with a spread of up to 75cm at maturity. It features broadly oval to heart-shaped, mid-green leaves, up to 12cm long, with irregularly margined chartreuse. Over time, the narrow cream margins change to golden yellow before fading to cream. Deep lavender blooms appear in summer, rising on 60cm long scapes, usually in July and lasting into August. Hosta Golden Tiara has better tolerance to dry soils than most other Hostas. It is sturdy and vigorous, growing well in most gardens without much attention. Although not fully slug resistant, it is quite sun tolerant. Suitable for beginners, this plant has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
