Hosta Long Tail Lights 10b in late summer or early

in late summer or early fall

the color shifts to chartreuse

a truly wonderful deer-resistant conversation piece

but the wait is well worth it

which is an old name for the less hardy Sabal mexicana

Hosta Long Tail Lights 10b in late summer or earlyHosta 'Long Tail Lights' is a 2017 Plant Delights Nursery introduction from a cross we made in 1996 involving Hosta kikutii and several other seedlings. The 10" tall x 2' wide clump is composed of wonderfully textured, deeply veined, long, pointed leaves of medium green, edged in a wide golden border that ages to cream. The 2' tall scape of lavender flowers top the clump, starting for us in late August early September.
