Hosta ‘Liberty’ makes a dramatic first impression in spring, when its blue-green leaves are edged with wide, bright yellow margins. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to green while those broad margins soften to creamy white, giving the plant an entirely different look by summer.

The thick, substantial leaves hold up well in the garden, while the upright, vase-shaped habit gives ‘Liberty’ a strong architectural presence. It is a slower-growing hosta, but patience pays off: as the clump matures, the margins become even more impressive.
