Plantain Lily 'Enterprise', 'Enterprise' Hosta
A particularly showy addition to the shade garden, Hosta ‘Enterprise’ (Plantain Lily) is a medium-sized hosta variety with stunning variegated foliage. It forms a luminous mound of widely oval to heart-shaped, green-margined ivory leaves with attractive transitional chartreuse streaks. Dainty, funnel-shaped lavender flowers appear in mid-summer, rising on scapes 30 in. tall (75 cm). ‘Enterprise’ enjoys a good slug resistance and makes a cheerful subject for plantings in the garden or mixed containers.
