Monrovia® Olive Bailey Langdon Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage. The very large blue-green basal leaves are lightly waved and corrugated with irregular gold-green margins. The small bell-like white 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. Less prone to leaf scorch.
