Hosta 'Moonstruck' is an elegant and highly decorative cultivar derived from the beautiful hosta ‘Dress Blues’. It is admired for its refined variegation featuring a creamy-yellow centre surrounded by a contrasting green margin. As the season progresses, the centre colour gradually brightens towards soft white, creating an ever-changing ornamental effect throughout the growing season.

Registered in 2009, ‘Moonstruck’ is known as a vigorous and reliable grower with excellent garden performance. Its elegant foliage and luminous colour contrast make it a particularly attractive choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens and sophisticated container plantings.
