Name: Hosta lancifolia

Description: This is the grandfather of Hosta groundcover. The lush tropical green lance-shape leaves are among the first to rise in the spring and the last to bed for winter. Tremendous groundcovering ability, and if left undisturbed it spreads into very large colonies, which makes it perfect for mass plantings. Beautiful vase-shaped plant. Lancifolia, the "little hosta," was the first representative of Hosta to be introduced to Western botany. Sun resistant.
