Among the top choices for shade gardens! Tokudama flavorcircinalis is widely touted as one of the best hostas on the market today… and with good reason. It adds style, colour and flair to shady spaces like no other. It features large, 9" frosty blue leaves with wide, irregular chartreuse-green margins and a fantastic corrugated texture. Nearly round and very thick, the leaves display great slug resistance, so you won't be plagued with holes in your hosta. Plant in borders, containers or between shrubs and trees as a ground cover. For best colour, make sure you site Tokudama flavorcircinalis in part to full shade.
