Description

(Hosta) Hosta ‘Captain Kirk’ is a notably improved sport of the very popular Hosta ‘Gold Standard’. The leaves have bright gold centers that contrast nicely against the dark green margins. ‘Captain Kirk’ is much more sun tolerant than other hosta varieties. For the best golden leaf color, you’ll want to plant it in an area that receives morning sun. For warmer zones, such as zones 8 and 9, consider planting in more direct shade. This perennial is hardy in zones 3-9, and forms a 2 foot mound that spreads up to 3 feet wide. Lavender flowers appear mid summer to a height of 30 inches and make great cut flowers for bouquets and indoor arrangements. Be ready to see many bees and hummingbirds visit as this hosta is a great pollinator plant. Hostas are generally easy plants to grow and maintain, and they grow well with companion plants like astilbe, brunnera, ferns, and more. Plant ‘Captain Kirk’ hosta as a border, in containers, or in your shade garden.

Gorgeous Hosta

A stunningly gorgeous Hosta. Mine were quite large and very healthy when they arrived from Garden Crossings. Popped them into the garden - in a mostly shady area & they've grown like weeds. I am actually not a huge Hosta fan, but I really like Cap. Kirk & it brightens up this dark corner in my garden.
