Hosta 'Victory' (Plantain Lily)
Plantain Lily 'Victory', 'Victory' Hosta
Noted for its huge leaves and distinctive variegation, Hosta 'Victory' (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming an impressive mound of large, thick, wavy, widely oval, blue-green leaves adorned with broad, irregular margins. Emerging bright yellow, the margins turn pale yellow as the season progresses. Racemes of funnel-shaped, pale lavender flowers appear in profusion in early to midsummer summer on arching scapes rising above the foliage mound to 54 in. tall (135 cm). Fairly fast growing, this spectacular hosta eventually makes a remarkable specimen and adds great color to the shady border.
- Grows up to 28-32 in. tall (70-80 cm) and 38-46 in. wide (95-115 cm).
- Named Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Growers Association (2015), it is also recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. A real plant of Merit!
- A part shade to full shade lover, it is best grown in rich, moist, well-drained soils. Best in light to moderate shade.
- Perfect for the shade gardens, mixed with other perennials, as groundcover, underplanting shrubs.
- 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.
