Luminous Golden Clouds Drifting Through the Woodland
Hosta 'Cloud Lime' is a rare collector's gem from the hybridizing program of Viktoria Serafin, celebrated for its soft pillowy texture and a unique colour palette that shifts like morning light through a forest canopy. Plants currently available are secondary divisions sourced directly from an original originator stock plant, maintaining strict genetic integrity and stability of the true variety. A vigorous yet refined performer, it adds a cooling lime-gold glow to Canadian gardens from the Atlantic coast to the dappled shade of the Rockies.

Grower's Tip: Hosta 'Cloud Lime' is at its best when given a few hours of gentle morning sun, which helps intensify its signature lime-gold glow. Because these plants are precious divisions from the hybridizer's original mother plant, we take extra care to ensure their transition is seamless. We wait for every division to break soil at our Bécancour trial fields to verify its vigorous growth and distinct colour are True to Type before it earns its place in your collection.
