Patriot Plantain Lily Hosta 1 Live Perennial Plant, 1 Gallon Pot – Hosta ‘Patriot’

Patriot Plantain Lily (Hosta ‘Patriot’) is a popular herbaceous perennial recognized for its striking variegated foliage and attractive mounding growth habit. Its broad, heart-shaped leaves feature rich, dark green centers surrounded by crisp white margins, creating a bold contrast in shaded garden spaces. This ornamental hosta is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, foundation plantings, and decorative landscape beds.

During late spring and summer, Patriot Hosta develops dense clumps of attractive green-and-white foliage. In summer, slender flower stalks rise above the leaves and produce pale lavender, bell-shaped blossoms that add delicate seasonal interest. Its distinctive foliage provides texture and contrast alongside ferns, astilbes, coral bells, and other shade-loving perennials.

Patriot Plantain Lily performs best in partial shade to full shade and prefers fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Its white leaf margins are especially attractive in filtered light or morning sun with afternoon shade. As a herbaceous perennial, the foliage naturally dies back after frost in colder climates, and new leaves emerge from the crown in spring.

Each order includes 1 live Patriot Plantain Lily supplied in a 1-gallon nursery container (G1).
