This vigorous hosta cultivar features a striking colour contrast—golden-yellow foliage rimmed in blue-grey tones that intensifies with moderate light exposure. A sport of the popular Guacamole variety, Ambrosia reaches substantial size and performs reliably in garden settings. Fragrant white flowers emerge seasonally, adding textural interest and subtle fragrance. Unlike many hostas, this selection demonstrates genuine sun tolerance, making it a versatile choice for partially shaded borders or woodland edges where dappled light enhances its luminous centre.
