With a height of approximately 16 inches and a spread of 24 inches, the Hosta ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ PP35175 makes a statement without overwhelming your garden. Its near-white flowers appear in midsummer on proportionate scapes, providing a subtle yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant foliage. This hosta is not a small liner plant; it is a mature plant that will immediately enhance your garden’s aesthetic appeal.

One of the key benefits of the Dancing in the Moonlight Hosta is its adaptability to shade. It thrives in partial to full shade conditions, making it an ideal choice for areas where other plants struggle to grow. Its perennial nature ensures that it will return year after year, providing continuous beauty and enjoyment. The plant’s unique ruffled leaves and contrasting colors also make it a focal point in any garden design.

This Hosta prefers fertile, average soil with a neutral pH. It requires medium watering and is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zone 4 (-30 to -20 °F). During early spring, plants may still be breaking dormancy, so they may appear smaller than they will be when fully leafed out. In Fall or Winter, the plants may be dormant, which means they may be losing or have completely lost their leaves. Rest assured, the plant will return to its full glory in the spring.
