Hosta Wheee! (Plantain Lily)

Hosta ‘Wheee!’ (Plantain Lily) is a medium-sized, clump-forming perennial forming a neat and compact mound of extremely ruffled, narrowly ovate, mid-green leaves with broad, creamy-yellow margins. Funnel-shaped, pale lavender flowers appear on upright spikes reaching 24 in. (60 cm) in midsummer. The heavy substance of the leaves helps to make this hosta more slug resistant. This variegated plantain lily is an ideal choice for growing in a container on the patio, and is also suited to growing in the perennial border.

• Perfect for the shade garden, mixed with other perennials in bed and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens or containers. Great for edging, as a groundcover or underplanting shrubs and roses.

• Cut off the stems after blooming to encourage the plant's growth. Discolored leaves should be trimmed back to the ground.
