The August Moon Hosta has large, broad, slightly cupped and moderately corrugated (textured) leaves. The color is typically chartreuse when emerging in spring and brightens to gold as the season progresses, especially with more sun exposure. Pale lavender to near-white, bell-shaped flowers bloom on tall scapes (stalks) held just above the foliage in mid-to-late summer (often true to its name, around August).
