A Zesty Beryl-Toned Treasure for Tiny Spaces
A vibrant standout from Mark Zilis's playful Tini series, Hosta 'Citratini' is a 2009 registration that proves great things come in small packages. This diminutive gem is a tour de force of brightness, forming a tight, low-growing mound that acts like a concentrated burst of sunshine. Perfectly suited for the front of the border or a sophisticated trough garden, it thrives across our vast Canadian zones, bringing a splash of citrus-inspired energy to the shady corners of your landscape.
-
Luminous Gold Brilliance: The leaves emerge in a sharp chartreuse-yellow and brighten to a luminous gold, providing a beryl-toned glow that lasts all season.
-
Petite and Tidy Form: With a height of just 20 cm (8"), it is an ideal choice for rock gardens or as a high-impact edging plant that won't overwhelm its neighbours.
-
Delicate Texture: The lance-shaped leaves are smooth and substantial for their size, creating a dense, compact silhouette that remains pristine through the summer.

Midsummer Charm: In July and August, this golden mound is topped with charming lavender, bell-shaped flowers on proportionate 30 cm (12") scapes.

Grower's Tip: As a member of the Tini series, Hosta 'Citratini' is specifically bred for its compact habit and golden hue. To ensure you receive a specimen that accurately reflects this zesty character, we never ship dormant eyes. We wait for the spring emergence right here in Bécancour to verify the leaf colour and miniature stature are True to Type before your plant is approved for its new home.
