Hosta 'Carnival': Lachman's Festive Parade

Hosta 'Carnival'

Introduced in 1986 by Lachman, 'Carnival' is a jubilant hosta that parades a riot of color through the shade garden. This Liliaceae family member (genus Hosta) brings Mardi Gras energy to the understory.

Cultivar Details

Carnival exhibits a festive, irregular variegation with splashes of white, cream, and green that creates a party atmosphere. Lachman's mid-1980s work contributed to the expanding palette of variegated hostas. This cultivar forms a medium-sized mound that brightens any shady corner.
