Plantain Lily 'Patriot', Patriot Hosta
Among the most popular variegated hostas ever introduced, Hosta ‘Patriot’ (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming a divinely eye-catching mound of large, ovate-shaped, satiny, dark green leaves adorned with irregular ivory margins. Racemes of funnel-shaped, lavender-blue flowers appear in summer on scapes rising well above the foliage mound to 34 in. tall (85 cm). A moderate to fast grower, ‘Patriot’ adds great color to the shady borders and containers.
