Seducer Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its large heart-shaped foliage with chartreuse to creamy wavy margins. The tall scapes of near-white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in part sun and moist well-drained soils.
