Hosta Fried Bananas | Large Golden Hosta for Shade Gardens

Hosta 'Fried Bananas' is a striking large hosta featuring glowing chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage that brightens even the shadiest garden spaces. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves display strong veining, light corrugation, and a slightly rippled texture, creating a lush, tropical appearance throughout the growing season.

A vigorous grower, Fried Bananas quickly develops into an impressive specimen-sized clump and provides outstanding contrast when paired with blue, green, or variegated hostas. As the plant matures, the vibrant foliage becomes even more dramatic, making it a standout focal point in the landscape.

One of the most desirable features of Fried Bananas is its large, fragrant summer flowers, inherited from its fragrant lineage. Tall scapes rise above the foliage carrying pale lavender blooms with a sweet fragrance that can be enjoyed throughout the garden.

Perfect for collectors and gardeners seeking bold color, texture, and fragrance in shaded beds, woodland gardens, and landscape borders.
