Rainbow’s End Hosta
Hosta ‘Rainbow’s End’
Bold, compact, and bursting with colour, Rainbow’s End Hosta is a standout in any shade garden. This eye-catching variety features thick, glossy leaves with bright yellow centers and dark green margins, creating a dramatic contrast that holds strong all season. As summer progresses, the center may lighten to creamy white, adding even more visual interest.
In late summer, fragrant lavender-purple flowers emerge on striking deep purple scapes, rising above the foliage and attracting bees and other pollinators. With its small, mounding habit—just 10–12 inches tall and 18–20 inches wide—Rainbow’s End is perfect for edging, containers, or adding a vibrant pop of colour in tight, shady spaces.
Exceptionally well-suited to Canadian gardens, this hardy perennial thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. It’s slug-resistant, deer-resistant, and easy to care for, making it a smart and stylish choice for both new and experienced gardeners.
Brighten up shady spots with Rainbow’s End Hosta—a vibrant, compact variety that delivers standout foliage and late-season blooms with minimal effort.
