Monrovia® Patriot Hosta is a shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for their foliage. The glossy basal leaves are deep green with wide creamy-white edging and deep veins. The bell-like 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.
