Hosta Shadowland® 'Voices in the Wind' is an eye-catching large hosta known for its wavy, heart-shaped blue-green leaves with rippling edges that create movement and texture in the shade garden. As the season progresses, the foliage becomes more corrugated and holds its rich color well into summer. This variety forms an impressive clump, ideal for adding structure and drama to shaded borders or as a bold specimen.
Like other Shadowland hostas, it offers excellent substance, good resistance to pests like slugs, and a refined presence in the landscape. In midsummer, tall scapes bearing pale lavender flowers add vertical interest and attract pollinators.
