The following set of lists highlights hosta varieties that exhibit changing colouration throughout the season.
We have categorised the different colouration changes as follows:
- Albescence: when the leaves turn whiter/white across the season
- Lutescence: when the leaves become lighter and brighter across the season
- Viridescence: when the leaves turn green across the season
Many cultivars are variegated, which means we also need to note what happens to the centre and edges (margins) of the leaves. Therefore, if only one element of the leaf changes across the season we have categorised it as either the centre or margin exhibiting the colouration change.
