Hosta Patriot

Hosta Patriot Details

Hosta Patriot is grown for its large, dark green leaves with cream-white edges. In summer, bell-shaped, lilac flowers appear and are held neatly above the foliage which are followed by seed heads that attract birds. This herbaceous perennial will grow to about 60 cm wide and 50 cm tall and in cold climates it may die off during winter to regrow again in spring. It grows best in a full sun or partial shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cold climates but should not be allowed to dry out. Hosta Patriot is commonly mass planted as a groundcover, included in borders, grown in a container, used in tropical and cottage gardens, or planted around outdoor living areas. A mass planting gives an impressive display.
