Hosta albo-marginata is
a perennial herb in sunny wetlands in fields and mountains, with
rhizomes crawling sideways. Leaves, with 10-15 cm long petioles, are
in a lanceolate to long oblong shape, 10-20cm long, with bases,
abruptly growing to the petioles. Flower stalks stand erect, 30-40cm
tall. Flowers, tubular bell-shaped, 4-5cm long, a few to a dozen in
number, put themselves on flower stalks and bloom facing sideways or
somewhat downward, with purple stripes on light purple background.
Bloom time: July-August. |
