Description
Hosta Undulata Variegata forms a compact, arching mound of narrow oval leaves with rippled edges, rich green margins, and irregular creamy-white central markings. Light-lavender funnel-shaped flowers rise in racemes above the foliage in early summer. Grow it in fertile, humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist but drains well, with partial to full shade and shelter from drying winds. Its bright foliage suits shaded borders, edging, underplanting, and woodland-style gardens.
