Details
Unique tricolour variety for shade gardens.
Take the carefree, easy growth habit of traditional hosta and combine it with a trio of cool, vivid hues and you have Captain's Adventure! This glorious variety gives shady sites a bold shot of colour with yellow leaves accented with creamy white margins and streaks of deep green. In midsummer, tall scapes arch upward to show off lavender blooms that bring butterflies to the landscape. An excellent low-profile hosta for shadowy front borders, mixed containers, rock gardens and other shady scenes. Quickly fills out bare spots in the garden, too.
