Laterna Magica is a compact Hosta, attaining a height of approximately 20cm to 30cm and spreading up to 55cm at maturity. It forms a small mound composed of narrow, slightly wavy leaves. The nearly golden, upright leaves feature a wavy margin and are heavily rippled. This Hosta variety exhibits rapid growth and benefits from some sunlight to maintain its yellow hue. During the summer, the clump is adorned with numerous delicate, intense lavender flowers borne on 45cm green scapes. It presents an excellent display when in full bloom and mass planted. Additionally, it tolerates partial sunlight well.
