Hosta, Lakeside Paisley Print Hosta

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.
