Hosta 'Lakeside Cupcake'

 

Plantain Lily 'Lakeside Cupcake'

Hosta are popular perennials for shady areas. Grown for their architectural qualities and sumptuous foliage topped with lily-like blooms. The flowers appear in mid-summer. Hosta go completely dormant in the autumn, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid-spring. Easily divided in either spring or autumn. 'Lakeside Cupcake' has blue-green leaves with yellow centres in Spring, the edges turning blue in Summer with a green line between the blue and the cream centre. In mid Summer pale lavender flowers appear.
