Captain Kirk Hosta

’Captain Kirk’ is a large hosta that features thicker, wider dark green margins than ‘Gold Standard’, which it is a sport of. Golden leaf centers provide sharp contrast to the margins. Fairly sun tolerant, give morning sun for best color.

Winner, Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit 2012

Tip: Potted dormant perennials can be kept in a well-lit cool/cold area (i.e. garage, shed, even in a protected area outdoors) until ready for spring planting. Do not allow them to completely dry out.
