Very interesting irregular patterns of color that actually change within the growing season.

  • Yellow leaf border changes to chartreuse later in summer
  • Green centers in irregular patterns
  • Lavender flowers

Add a new variety to a hosta collection! You can also plant one type in large quantities as a ground cover, or enjoy hostas as an accent to other neighboring perennials in the woodland garden.

Interesting Notes about Plantain Lily:

Hostas are wonderful plants for the shady garden. You can plant them in more sun for more flowers, but in the heat of the summer they will need extra water to keep from getting scorched.
