Description

(Mature Size: 15"T x 30"W)

  • This is one of my favorite hostas and that's hard to say! Very unique looking hosta!
  • Sport of 'Funky Monkey' with very thick, plastic like green leaves and wide gold margins that are often misted with green.
  • Leaves are held upright on red petioles and the leaves curl under themselves.
  • Long, arching leaves are nicely rippled and held on red petioles. 
  • Leaves glisten when the sun hits them.
  • Forms a medium-sized mound of slug-resistant foliage and is a stand-out hosta in the shade garden.
  • Lavender flowers in summer.

Why Should I Grow It?
This hosta came to us a few years ago and I was instantly in love. Hosta 'Monkey Business' is from Marco Fransen and is a sport of 'Funky Monkey' which came from Alttara Scheer. The leaves do not look real as they are very thick and shiny like plastic. The long arching leaves are nicely rippled and held on upright dark red petioles. The margins start off a misted green and brighten to a nice yellow. If it gets enough sun the margin even turns parchment white by late summer. This one gets better as the season progresses. I put mine next to a large piece of driftwood to help accent it and I love seeing this one in my garden all summer.
