The Hosta 'Wide Brim' is a medium-sized shade perennial, recognized for its bluish-green foliage in the center, surrounded by a wide creamy yellow border that becomes paler during the season. Its soft and luminous variegation makes it an excellent choice for brightening up partially shaded beds and woodland gardens.
It develops a dense and well-balanced clump, ideal as a feature plant or in combination with ferns and astilbes. In summer, pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage.
It prefers partial shade to preserve the richness of its color and a cool, well-drained soil.
