Hosta undulata 'Albomarginata'

Hosta undulata ‘Albomarginata’ is a classic, clump-forming, deciduous hosta prized for its wavy green leaves crisply edged in white, bringing bright contrast to shaded borders and woodland plantings. In summer, slender scapes rise above the foliage with pale lavender, funnel-shaped flowers. Grow in light to full shade in moisture-retentive, humus-rich, moderately fertile soil; keep evenly moist in dry spells. Ideal for ground cover, underplanting shrubs and trees, and shaded containers; protect young shoots from slugs and snails. Forms a compact clump around 30–60cm in height over time.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
