Patriot Hosta Lily is one of the most exciting hostas to come along in some time. The foliage is dark green with a broad, wavy margin of pure white, creating an especially strong and highly visible contrast which literally lights up any shady area. Plants grow vigorously to 20" tall and nearly twice as wide. Lavender flowers appear on 26-30" scapes in Summer.

Patriot Hosta Lily Feeding Instructions

Feed in Spring and then on an as needed basis through late Summer. We generally recommend a slow-release granular flower food, higher in the middle number: this is phospherous, which helps to promote strong root systems, strong stems and plenty of flowers. Alternatively, you may use a natural or organic, non-burning plant food. Refer to product label for application rates and instruction.

This is a low-maintenance plant that requires little or no pruning! An occasional snip here or there of a stray or broken branch, or shearing faded flowers to encourage more blooming is okay.
