Dramatic Shadows Meeting a Radiance of Golden Buttercream
A tour de force from the esteemed breeding program of William and Eleanor Lachman, Hosta 'Celebrity' is a rare collector's gem that commands attention in any Canadian landscape. Registered in the late nineties, this classic was born from a sophisticated cross between one of Lachman's elite breeders (bbf6) and the iconic Hosta 'Frances Williams'. It forms a massive, architectural mound that serves as a spectacular anchor for shade gardens from the rain-drenched valleys of British Columbia to the rugged coasts of Newfoundland.

Grower’s Tip: Give Hosta 'Celebrity' plenty of room to stretch its 142 cm (56") wingspan — it is a standout choice for mass plantings or as a singular hallmark specimen. At Hosta Choice Gardens, we never ship dormant roots. We observe the spring emergence in our Bécancour fields to verify the unique overlapping variegation and leaf crinkle, ensuring your plant is True to Type before it begins its journey to you.
