Hope Spring Eternal Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its highly ruffled blue-green foliage with white margins. The tall scapes of near white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
