If you're looking for a very dependable variegated Hosta to light up the shady areas of your gardens look no further. We've grown and planted a lot of Hosta in our gardens over the years and 'Patriot' has been one of if not the best all-time performers among the variegated cultivars. It's one of the most exciting hostas to come along, in a long time. It forms attractive compact mounds of pure white leaves with "painted," deep green centers. The dense mounds of foliage are topped with pretty lavender flowers in summer that you and the hummingbirds will love.
