Monrovia® Enterprise Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their attractive large foliage. The lightly wavy basal leaves have a creamy center with olive edging and wide dark green irregular margins. The bell-like lavender flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
