A Gilded Titan to Anchor Your Shaded Garden
Tony Saville registered Hosta 'Beckoning' in 2002 as a spectacular gold-centred sport of the legendary 'Blue Angel'. It inherits its parent's massive architectural presence and thick, rubbery leaf substance. The enormous heart-shaped leaves emerge chartreuse and brighten into luminous golden yellow as the Canadian summer progresses. A wide blue-green margin frames each leaf, creating a beckoning glow that commands attention across the garden. Its grand scale makes it a premier specimen for large-scale shade plantings from Zone 3 through 9.

Heavy rubbery texture: Inherits the incredible substance of 'Blue Angel', offering exceptional durability and natural resistance to garden pests.
