The Hosta 'Undulata Albomarginata' is a harbinger of spring, emerging as one of the season's earliest risers. This compact variety boasts medium-green leaves defined by undulating white margins, with hints of gray-green where the center and edge meet. The white, artistically brushed margins on these pointed leaves add a burst of brightness, especially under the dappled shades of larger flora. Though known for its radiant foliage, by midsummer, it further impresses with pale lavender flowers that ascend on 31-45" scapes. The striking contrast of green and white makes this hosta an enduring favorite, capable of infusing vibrancy into shaded areas and providing easy-care ground cover in woodland settings. Undulata Albomarginata is shipped as a bare root, a method we favor for its ability to establish quickly, double in size compared to its potted counterparts within the first season, and omit the necessity for plastic pots—providing an eco-friendly advantage.

Hosta Plant Care Instructions: During the early part of the season, the soil should be kept constantly moist. As the summer heat sets in, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In late fall, once frost has turned the foliage brown, cut it back to the ground. To ensure vigor and prevent overcrowding, divide the roots every 3-5 years. Late fall or early spring are the best times for this task.
