Hosta undulata var. undulata or ' Mediovariegata' is an RHS AGM winning hardy perennial that strikes a rare balance between flowers & foliage. In July & August, its lavender-blue, funnel-shaped blooms look stunning on their tall stems, particularly when the plant is featured in a patio container or at the front of a border. However, the leaves over which they tower are equally attractive, with a creamy-white centre & an unusual, twisted growth habit. This foliage also provides good groundcover in cottage & woodland gardens. Indeed, to achieve the brightest colours, a shady setting with plenty of trees is an ideal setting for this understated Plantain Lily.

Height: 45cm (1'6). Spread: 45cm (1'6).
