Common name   Hosta
Hardiness Zone   3 to 8
Sun   Full sun to part shade
Soil   Medium, well-drained
Flower color   Lavender
Bloom Time   August
Height   1.5 feet

General Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Does best in rich, moist, organic soils in light, sun-dappled shade.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
Hosta undulata ‘Variegata’ are mounding plants to 15-22” tall featuring narrow oval to elliptic wavy-margined green leaves (to 7” long) with irregular creamy white center stripes.
Problems:
Slugs and snails are attracted to the foliage, chewing jagged holes in the leaves, and if left unchecked, can cause serious damage over a fairly short period of time. Leaf spots and crown rot are less frequent problems. Otherwise, hostas are virtually pest-free and are considered ideal low-maintenance garden perennials.
Uses:
A mainstay of the shade garden. This medium hosta can be mixed with other perennials, massed or used as a specimen in the border or woodland garden.
