Lakeside Paisley Print Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its wavy variegated foliage. The glossy basal leaves are strongly rippled margins and creamy feather-like center marks with colors that shift from ivory to chartreuse as the season progresses. The bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up in terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
