Hosta 'Rainbow's End', the 2021 American Hosta Grower's Association's Hosta of the Year, is a small- to medium-sized hosta that's one of the more dramatic and unique hostas we have ever grown. This Hans Hansen sport of Hosta 'Obsession' boasts very thick, glossy, canoe-shaped leaves with bright golden streaky centers surrounded by a wide, green/black border. Our 16" wide clumps of Hosta 'Rainbow's End' are topped in midsummer with short, reddish-purple flower spikes of hummingbird-acclaimed dark lavender flowers.
