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.

• Easy grower, Hosta 'Enterprise' grows up to 20 in. tall (50 cm) and 40-44 in. wide (100-110 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.
