Features of the DeGroot Medio Variegata Hosta Undulata Starter Plant

More commonly known as a plantain lily, this hosta plant is a perennial that will enjoy the shady areas of your flower beds as well as woodland areas. It grows to be 12” to 24” in height. This hosta is very hardy.

The Medio Variegata produces full, elongated heart-shaped leaves. The centers of the leaves sport a white marking shaped like a flame. The margins of the leaves have pale apple-green then dark green streaks. The leaves cascade down, a striking and delightful effect that is a beautiful garden display.

The Medio Variegata produces purple flowers in the summertime. This plant will form clumps of leaves over time that you can then divide and spread throughout your flower garden if you’d like.

This hosta is susceptible to chewing insects and slugs, which can disfigure the shape of the foliage. The Medio Variegata is also subject to leaf spots and crown rot.

Planting the DeGroot Medio Variegata Hosta Undulata Starter Plant

You can plant the Medio Variegata Hosta in partial sun to full shade. The eyes of the plant need to be 1-2” below the soil surface. You’ll be able to tell the eyes apart from the rest of the plant because they are tender white or purple swells that protrude from the crown area. Once planted, be sure to water the hosta thoroughly.
