Hosta Long Tail Lights Rhynchospora Starting in late summer (NC)Hosta 'Long Tail Lights' is a 2017 Plant Delights Nursery introduction from a cross we made in 1996 involving Hosta kikutii and several other seedlings. The 10" tall x 2' wide clump is composed of wonderfully textured, deeply veined, long, pointed leaves of medium green, edged in a wide golden border that ages to cream. The 2' tall scape of lavender flowers top the clump, starting for us in late August early September.
