Hosta Lunar Orbit forms a medium to large mound, reaching a height of approximately 40cm to 55cm, with a spread of up to 100cm at maturity. This variety is a sport of Hosta August Moon, distinguished by an additional dark green margin. The leaves initially emerge chartreuse in spring and quickly transition to yellow with a green border. By early summer, the foliage turns deep yellow with pronounced dark green, streaked margins. The leaves possess a somewhat leathery texture and are rugose, contributing to their resistance to slugs. This Hosta variety can tolerate some sunlight, which enhances its coloration. In deeper shade, the leaf centres tend to remain more chartreuse. Large, flared violet flowers appear on 90cm scapes for an extended period from early to mid-summer. Hosta Lunar Orbit is noted for its vigorous growth.
