Ann Kulpa Hosta
Hosta 'Ann Kulpa'
Refined and eye-catching, Ann Kulpa Hosta brings elegance and contrast to the shade garden with its distinctive variegated foliage. Broad, heart-shaped leaves feature creamy white centers framed by wide, dark green margins, with subtle streaks of chartreuse blending the two. This stunning hosta adds a bold, yet sophisticated touch to woodland borders, shaded beds, and container plantings.
'Ann Kulpa' forms a dense, mounding habit and provides season-long interest with its vibrant foliage. In mid to late summer, it sends up tall scapes bearing pale lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds and adding a vertical element to the display.
Thriving in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, this variety is easy to grow and reliable year after year. It’s also a great companion for ferns, astilbes, and other shade-loving perennials.
Bring bold texture and elegant color contrast to your shaded spaces with Ann Kulpa Hosta—an outstanding choice for gardeners who appreciate foliage with flair.
