Hosta 'Dancing Queen' | Golden Piecrust-Edged Hosta

Description

Golden Foliage with a Flourish at Every Edge

Hosta 'Dancing Queen' brings a bright sweep of colour to a shaded garden. Kent Terpening bred this vigorous cultivar from H. 'Split Personality'. Its leaves open chartreuse, glow brilliant yellow, then soften to pale yellow by midsummer. Deeply rippled edges give the broad, arching leaves their playful piecrust look. Place it among blue or deep green hostas where that golden mound can shine.

  • Changing Colour: Enjoy the shift from fresh spring chartreuse to luminous yellow and a softer midsummer finish.
  • Piecrust Edges: Strong ripples trace each leaf, giving the broad foliage movement even when the garden is still.
  • Garden Presence: Its generous, arching mound makes a lively focal point or brings rhythm to a shaded border.
  • Summer Flowers: Pale lavender blooms rise above the golden foliage for a gentle contrast.
