Hosta are among the most popular perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This outstanding medium-sized selection features mid-green leaves with bold, streaky white margins and lavender flowers that appear in July. It offers fairly good sun tolerance and works beautifully in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in fall—remove dying foliage anytime before mid-spring. Easily divided in spring or fall, though plants can thrive undisturbed for years. Watch for slugs and manage as needed. A reliable, low-maintenance choice for shade gardens and mixed plantings.
