Hosta 'Hummingbird's Nest'

Bob Solberg Hosta Collection 2026

[S]  Invite a little magic into your garden with Hosta 'Hummingbird's Nest'! This charming introduction from hybridizer Randy Goodwin is like a tiny, living sculpture, designed to delight with its ever-changing colors and unique leaf shape. It’s the perfect plant to create a serene, welcoming spot in a shady nook! 'Hummingbird's Nest' is an open-pollinated seedling of 'Crazy Quilt'. This hosta undergoes a pleasing seasonal transformation: emerging in spring with lovely blue-green centers and soft cream margins. As the summer progresses, the margins brighten to a crisp white, beautifully contrasting the deeper green centers. All this delightful color is showcased in distinctly cup-shaped, corrugated leaves, creating a textured, dimensional look that you'll adore. Though it has a slower growth rate, its unique beauty is well worth the wait! Forms a beautiful, upright clump, reaching 10" tall and 20" wide. In midsummer, it sends up graceful scapes topped with fertile, delicate pale lavender flowers, providing a sweet nectar source for its namesake hummingbirds. Create a cozy, captivating corner in your garden with Hosta 'Hummingbird's Nest' – a little piece of art that keeps getting better with age!
