Hosta Amalia 5.25" Pot Well Rooted Perennial Shade Plant

Humble Hen Farm & Nursery Size: 18" H x 36" W Common Name: Hosta Hosta 'Amalia' A breathtakingly beautiful, premium variety introduced by Jan van den Top, this medium-sized specimen is a striking variegated sport of the famous 'Dancing Queen'. It features pointed, cascading leaves that emerge a brilliant, glowing golden-yellow in the spring, sharply framed by a dark forest-green margin that jets elegantly toward the midrib. What makes this hosta truly exceptional is its response to light; when planted in dappled or morning sun, the leaf centers brighten further, sometimes bleaching to a dramatic, near-white shade by late summer while the deeply veined margins retain their rich green contrast. In mid-summer, strong scapes arise cleanly above the radiant mound, displaying elegant, dense clusters of pale lavender flowers that offer an airy, delicate contrast to the heavily structured foliage. Maturing to a balanced 18 inches tall and spreading up to 36 inches wide, its eye-catching, painted appearance commands instant focus as a standalone specimen or border accent. Exceptionally hardy in Zones 3–9, it holds its crisp lines and intense color variance flawlessly throughout the season, establishing itself as a long-lived landscape masterpiece. Pair this stunning cultivar with excellent companion plants from our collection, like the architectural Athyrium 'Crested Surf' Fern or a vibrant gold-variegated Carex 'Ice Dance' Sedge to create an instantly mature, contrasting shade vignette.
