Hosta Center of Attention Phlox We love this native aroid

We love this native aroid in moist sites to add tropical-textured foliage

Large-leaf holly fern adds a whole different texture to the woodland garden

The only "ornamental" downside is that aristolochia is a delicacy for pipevine swallowtail butterfly larvae in midsummer

(aka: Ledebouria petiolata) This delightful clone of African false hosta is from our 2002 expedition to Thailand

Average to slightly dry soils are fine

Hosta Center of Attention Phlox We love this native aroidThis spectacular new release from Whirlwind's John Kulpa is essentially an improved H. 'Striptease'. Hosta 'Center of Attention' makes a small sized clump to 18" wide. Each black green, deeply veined leaf is highlighted by a stunning golden center that brightens to creamy white as the season progresses. In a bed of hostas, this will certainly be the 'Center of Attention!'
