Hosta 'Pineapple Express' is a 2019 Plant Delights Nursery introduction of a Hans Hansen discovery...the same color pattern, but with a dramatically wider dark green margin than the popular Hosta 'Pineapple Upside Down Cake'. We fell in love when we first saw this hosta and are thrilled to finally be able to make it available. The long-petioled, wavy, pointed leaves are gold, edged with a very wide dark green border, creating a truly unique clump. In late summer, the 15" tall x 3'+ wide clumps are topped with bee-friendly lavender flowers on 28" tall scapes.
