A Cascading Emerald Pinnacle of Architectural Grandeur
Hosta 'Dragon Lady' is a Mildred Seaver introduction prized for its massive, non-variegated presence. Our stock traces directly back to the originator's own plant. The long, pointed leaves emerge blue-green in spring and deepen to rich emerald by summer. Deeply impressed veins give the foliage a bold, dragon-scale texture. It suits Canadian zones 3–9 and commands attention as a specimen in large shaded gardens.

Grower's Tip: Give this cultivar plenty of room — it needs space to express its full dragon-scale texture and spread. We monitor every division at our Bécancour trial fields to confirm True to Type leaf elongation and puckering before it ships to your garden.
