Full Description

The Hosta ‘Etched Glass’ is a premium variegated hosta known for its bold contrast, refined foliage, and strong garden performance. A sport of ‘Stained Glass’, this variety features wider margins and thicker leaves, giving it improved substance and presence in the landscape.

Each leaf displays a striking combination of bright, brilliant yellow centers framed by very wide dark green margins, with a subtle light green pattern blending between the two, creating a layered, dimensional look.

As the plant matures, the foliage develops distinct puckering along the margins, adding texture and enhancing its overall visual appeal.

In late summer, very large, fragrant near-white flowers rise above the foliage on tall scapes, adding both fragrance and seasonal interest to the garden.

‘Etched Glass’ forms a dense, mounded clump and thrives in partial to full shade, where its vibrant color and contrast can truly stand out. With its thick leaves, bold variegation, and refined habit, it is an excellent choice for shade borders, containers, and focal plantings.
