Hosta Snake Eyes (Plantain Lily)

Hosta 'Snake Eyes' (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming a large, attractive mound of ovate, slightly twisted and pointed, dark green leaves with a pale green central streak surrounded by a splash of bright white. Loose clusters of tubular lavender blooms appear above the foliage in summer, but the primary contribution of this hosta is its lovely foliage.
