Description: The award winning ‘Patriot’ is one of the most popular variegated Hosta varieties of all time. It is easy to see why it’s a landscaper favourite. Dark green, slightly corrugated leaves are bordered with irregular white margins, creating a stunning contrast in the shade garden. Tubular pale lilac blooms appear in early to midsummer, rising on spikes held above the foliage.
Ornamental Features: Medium sized, teardrop-shaped leaves are a satiny dark green, bordered by a variable white margin. The lilac, bell-like flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators, and contrast beautifully against the lustrous leaves.
Landscape Features: Perfect for the shade garden, mixed with other perennials in bed and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens or containers. Great as a groundcover or underplanting shrubs and roses.
