Description
Maui Buttercups Hosta is a small shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its cupped and corrugated foliage that is chartreuse to bright gold depending on sunlight. Small near white bell-like flowers raise up in terminals from the green rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Maui Buttercups resist slug damage.
