Hosta undulata var. undulata (Wavy Plantain Lily)

Drawing attention, award-winning Hosta undulata var. undulata (Wavy Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming a pretty mound of lance-shaped, intriguingly twisted, deeply channeled, mid-green leaves adorned with creamy-white markings. The leaves are thin but leathery and nicely wavy-margined. Racemes of funnel-shaped, mauve flowers appear in early to mid-summer on arching scapes rising above the foliage mound to 32 in. tall (80 cm). A terrific Hosta to brighten up shady borders and containers.
