Hosta undulata ‘Medio Variegata’

Undulata ‘Medio Variegata’ is a very busy medium-sized hosta, of wavy-edged, oval leaves. The foliage has broad margins streaked in dark and pale apple-green, with a white flame-shaped marking in the center. Their cascade-like effect is delightful. A striking mound of color at maturity. Delightful planted in mass. The undulating cascade effect of this hosta creates a beautiful display. Plant may be divided every few years or left undisturbed indefinitely. Hosta’s perform well in woodland settings where filtered light is abundant.
