Fresh from the hands of hosta hybridizers Doug and Mardy Beilstein, Hosta ‘Night Owl’ brings a rare, almost nocturnal beauty to the garden. With its deep green margins embracing creamy white centers that glow brighter as the season unfolds, this large hosta creates a dramatic focal point for shade gardens. The creamy white streaking extends elegantly into the petioles, giving the plant an otherworldly glow as if lit from within.
 
Why you’ll want ‘Night Owl’ in your garden
Collectors know that some hostas feel destined to be showpieces—and ‘Night Owl’ is one of them. Its broad, nearly round leaves are slightly cupped and subtly rippled, adding dimension and texture that reward both close-up admiration and garden-scale drama. In late summer, tall scapes carry medium lavender blooms into September, offering a final flourish before fall. And while its blooms are beautiful, it’s the foliage that steals the show—dark as midnight, streaked with creamy light, always keeping your shade garden alive with contrast and intrigue.
 
Hosta ‘Night Owl’ isn’t just another variegated hosta—it’s the kind of plant that collectors tuck into their gardens knowing it will spark conversation and admiration year after year.
