Hosta 'Patriot' is a striking and award-winning perennial prized for its bold, variegated foliage. Its broad, dark green leaves are edged with crisp, creamy-white margins, creating a sharp contrast that brightens shaded areas. In mid to late summer, elegant pale lavender flowers rise on tall stems above the foliage, adding a delicate touch of colour. Perfect for shady borders, woodland gardens, and containers, Patriot is both low-maintenance and visually impactful.
