Hosta 'Orange Marmalade' RHS AGM

Hosta ‘Orange Marmalade’ – Golden Variegated Plantain Lily

Hosta ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a spectacular, medium to large Hosta, prized for its striking, heart-shaped leaves with broad blue-green margins and brilliant golden-yellow centres. The attractive, lightly corrugated foliage develops warm orange-gold tones before gradually fading to creamy yellow or near-white during summer. Elegant spikes of pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer.

Growing approximately 45–50cm tall, this hosta thrives in partial shade, preferring moist, fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Some gentle morning sunshine encourages its vibrant golden colouring, while protection from strong afternoon sun helps prevent leaf scorch.

An outstanding choice for woodland gardens, shady borders, containers and naturalistic planting, ‘Orange Marmalade’ provides brilliant foliage colour and beautiful seasonal contrast.
