Hosta fortunei 'Patriot'
Hosta 'Patriot', or Patriot Lily, is a clump-forming perennial that can grow up to 55cm in height and spread. They have oval shaped, olive green, variegated leaves with cream margins. This beautiful foliage is a gorgeous addition to any garden.
The leaves have a wavy edge, giving this plant some unique character; a great way to add texture to your garden! In summer, Hosta produces attractive, lavender-blue flowers, but the leaves on this plant are so beautiful that some gardeners remove the flowers so they can see more of the leaves! Hosta are easy to grow in shady gardens and will grow best in moist soils. They will thank you if you give them some mulch of well-rotted compost on a yearly basis. Working some compost into the soil to make the earth nice and rich will do wonders for your Hosta. You should prune them as required to remove dead foliage and tidy them up. A Hosta will be perfectly happy to grow in a pot, so long as their soil is not allowed to dry out.
Hostas are safe to grow in gardens where pets and babies are around. Keep an eye on them – your Hostas could be attached by snails, slugs, and vine weevils.
