Hosta 'Revolution'

Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This medium-sized selection has creamy-white leaves with unusual dark-green speckles and a streaky green edge. Pale lavender flowers appear in July. Suitable also for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
