Lavender flowers rise on 30-inch stems from mid to late summer. It has earned many hosta society awards and a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, and it is a reliable choice for edging, containers and mass plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide, low mound about 14 inches tall and 36 inches wide of heart-shaped, slightly glossy leaves in medium to dark green with a narrow, crisp white margin.
