Hosta, Tambourine Hosta

Victory Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage on red petioles.  The large, lightly rippled heart-shaped basal leaves are deep green with a creamy white margin.  Small bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up on tall terminals from the rootstalk above the mound in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in part sun and moist well-drained soils.
