A particularly showy addition to the shade garden, Hosta 'Bridal Falls' (Plantain Lily) is a medium-sized hosta variety with stunning variegated foliage. It forms a luminous, rounded mound of cascading, heart-shaped, green leaves with creamy white margins. The leaves are edged in pretty pie crust waves and have deeply impressed veins. Dainty, funnel-shaped lavender flowers appear in mid summer, rising on scapes 44 in. tall (110 cm). 'Bridal Falls' makes a cheerful subject for plantings in the garden or mixed containers.

• Grows up to 28 in. tall (70 cm) and 48 in. wide (120 cm).
• A part shade lover, it is best grown in rich, moist, well-drained soils.
• Perfect for the shade gardens, mixed with other perennials, as groundcover, edging, underplanting shrubs or in containers.
• A hardy, low-maintenance and forgiving perennial which brightens up any shady gardens.
• Watch for slugs and snails which could damage the attractive foliage.
• Cut off the stems after blooming to encourage the plant's growth. Discolored leaves should be trimmed back to the ground.
