Hosta 'Party Streamers'
A small, mound-forming deciduous perennial to around 25-35cm in height, with a fun clump of long, thin, wavy leaves of zesty yellow, contrasting wonderfully with the dark purple flowers held up high in summer. This life and soul of the party is relatively slug resistant and sun tolerant
