Hosta 'First Dance'

Hosta ‘First Dance’

Bring bright color and flowing texture to the shade garden with ‘First Dance’. Wide, intense yellow leaf centers are framed by rippled green margins that extend into the center of each leaf, creating a distinctive layered look.

As summer progresses, the yellow centers soften to chartreuse, providing a subtle seasonal color change. Pale lavender flowers appear on arching scapes in mid- to late summer. A sport of ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘First Dance’ forms a balanced mound that works well in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and mixed Hosta plantings.
