Hosta 'St. Elmo's Fire' is a striking perennial known for its vibrant, golden-yellow foliage that brightens up shaded or partially shaded garden areas. The heart-shaped leaves have a smooth texture and a slightly wavy edge, creating a bold, dramatic look, especially as the color deepens to a rich yellow-gold in the summer. In mid to late summer, it produces tall spikes of pale lavender flowers that add a soft contrast to the bright foliage and attract pollinators like hummingbirds and bees. This variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, making it perfect for woodland gardens, shady borders, or as a focal point in garden beds. With its radiant foliage and delicate blooms, Hosta 'St. Elmo's Fire' offers both color and texture to any garden, bringing warmth to shaded spaces.
