Hosta Albo marginata
Hosta Albo marginata
A great variety for edging shaded walkways or brightening perennial beds, Hosta Albo marginata features emerald-green leaves edged in white. Its fragrant, lavender flowers open above the foliage in late summer to early fall. Growing 18-24" tall, this popular hosta is ideal for naturalizing, providing sparkling color for years. Hosta lilies, sometimes called "Plantain" or "Heart Lilies," are some of the best perennials for shade and woodland gardens. These shade-loving perennials are tolerant of a wide variety of soil types, but prefer well-drained soil.

Just Fine and Exactly As Described
Very happy with these hosts. They are a good value for money and have developed well.
Successful
I left my order sitting around the garage for weeks until I got around to putting them in the ground. Nonetheless, when I got them in the ground and watered daily, almost all sprouted and are good-sized for a month-old planting.
Nice
Bought these at the end of the season & they were in nice shape.
Now one of my Favorites
All ten came up fast and were a decent size. The simple white edge is gorgeous with the long pointed leaves.
