Rainforest Sunrise Plantain Lily 1 Live Hosta Plant, 1 Gallon Pot – Hosta ‘Rainforest Sunrise’

Rainforest Sunrise Plantain Lily (Hosta ‘Rainforest Sunrise’) is a compact, ornamental herbaceous perennial valued for its colorful foliage, rounded growth habit, and suitability for shaded gardens. Also known as Rainforest Sunrise Hosta, this cultivar produces attractive golden-yellow leaves surrounded by contrasting dark green margins. Its thick, slightly cupped foliage creates a textured appearance that adds visual interest to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and decorative containers.

The foliage of Rainforest Sunrise Hosta emerges with bright yellow to chartreuse centers and develops richer golden tones under suitable growing conditions. The broad, rounded leaves feature darker green edges that emphasize the contrast between the center and margin. During summer, slender flower stalks rise above the foliage and produce lavender to pale purple, bell-shaped flowers that may attract hummingbirds and other flower-visiting wildlife.

Rainforest Sunrise Hosta performs best in partial shade to shade and prefers fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Its compact, clumping habit makes it suitable for shaded perennial beds, woodland-style plantings, garden edging, and patio containers. As a herbaceous perennial, it naturally enters dormancy during winter and returns with fresh foliage during the growing season.

Each order includes 1 live Rainforest Sunrise Plantain Lily supplied in a 1-gallon nursery pot (G1).
