Liberty Hosta

Liberty Hosta makes a strong visual impact with its thick, wide leaves edged in bright golden yellow that softens to creamy white as the season goes on. A sport of the popular Hosta ‘Sagae’, Liberty stands out for its vivid variegation, upright vase-shaped habit, and its ability to hold its form beautifully through the season. With excellent substance, this hosta resists slug damage better than most, giving you a cleaner look with minimal care. It’s a reliable, long-lived perennial that brings structure, color, and texture to shaded spaces all season long.

A Showstopper in the Shade: Liberty Hosta is anything but subtle. Each leaf emerges in spring with a bold blue-green center and vivid yellow edges, creating a dramatic contrast that stands out in any shaded border or woodland garden. As the season progresses, the leaf centers deepen to rich green, while the margins fade to a soft, creamy white—offering a constantly changing color display from spring to fall.

Strong Form and Substance: Reaching 20–24 inches tall with a spread of 30–36 inches, Liberty forms a dense mound of arching foliage that gives your garden structure and depth. The thick leaves hold their shape well and are less prone to damage from slugs thanks to their heavy substance. If you’ve struggled with messy hostas in the past, Liberty is a refreshing, easy-care upgrade.

Seasonal Interest with Summer Blooms: In early to midsummer, Liberty sends up tall flower scapes—up to 40 inches—topped with soft lavender, funnel-shaped blooms. While the foliage is the main attraction, the flowers add height and a seasonal bonus that plays well in mixed perennial beds or hosta collections.

Low-Maintenance and Long-Lasting: Like most hostas, Liberty thrives in partial to full shade with well-drained soil and consistent moisture. It’s incredibly easy to care for, needing little more than mulching in spring and occasional watering during dry spells. Over time, it forms a larger clump, making it a fantastic long-term investment in your garden.

Liberty Hosta is a great choice if you’re looking for a plant that delivers color, texture, and reliability in shaded areas. Its bold foliage, easy-care nature, and strong garden presence make it a standout in borders, under trees, or alongside ferns and other shade-loving plants.
