Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This selection features a mini-mound of very wavy, blue-green leaves with creamy centres. Pale lavender flowers with purple streaking appear early to mid summer. Excellent for troughs and containers.
