Santa Rosa Gardens

Hosta Stained Glass has gained quite a reputation for excellence.  It made Hosta of the Year in 2006.  It was bred by Hans Hansen from Minnesota.  It gets its name from the shiny highly detailed leaves giving the impression of stained glass in the early morning light.  The large 10.5 inch leaves are a yellow-green with a dark green edging.  The foliage also has a three dimensional effect with its deep veins creating great texture.  In mid summer a scape will emerge from the foliage and rise 30 inches to produce light purple funnel shaped flowers.  These flowers have a lovely scent and will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!  Another great feature is its ability to tolerant more sun and heat than most other hosta varieties.  Try this in your shade garden!
