Hosta 'Dancing Queen'
Hosta 'Dancing Queen'
1 gallon pot
 
A bright and cheerful hosta, Dancing Queen is prized for its large, ruffled leaves in vibrant golden-yellow tones that emerge early in the season. The heavily rippled foliage creates a lively, textured look that stands out in the shade garden. Its strong color holds well through the season, especially with some protection from intense sun, making it a standout focal plant.
 
This variety forms a broad, mounding clump and performs best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It benefits from some morning sun to enhance leaf color but should be protected from harsh afternoon exposure. A reliable and low-maintenance choice for borders, containers, and mass plantings.
