This hosta is tons of fun! Long, wiggly-edged leaves arc from the plant's center in bright chartreuse to yellow ribbons. Purple flowers on burgundy scapes introduce a contrasting color when they appear in summer. Pair your Party Streamers hosta with blue or green cultivars with more standard leaf shapes, and this zany specimen will practically leap from the garden bed!
