Hosta 'Paisley Border'

Hosta's are one of the joys of early spring , as their new leaves thrust and twist through the earth, spiralling their way into the light. 'Paisley Border' is a variegated variety which has thick textured leaves which are irregularly mid green in the middle, with an uneven yellow margin, turning white as summer progresses.  In summer tall flower spikes erupt from the centre of the plant which have several lavender purple coloured  flowers on each.  Standing on sturdy stems these also make for good cut flowers for the vase.  Extremely tough and hardy, this variety likes partial shade or full shade in moist but well drained soil.  As with all hosta's protect the leaves from slugs, albeit the thicker leaved ones are thought to be less susceptible.  Grows to medium size averaging 30 to 40cm high and wide.
