Victory Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The large, shiny green basal leaves are deeply veined with a broad wavy cream margin. Small bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up on tall terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
