The leaves are so slender that they taper straight into the leaf stems, giving the plant a fine, grassy texture unusual for a hosta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays about 7 inches tall and 15 inches wide and grows vigorously for its size. Lavender flowers appear above the foliage in midsummer and draw hummingbirds. It is well suited to troughs, fairy gardens, and small containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort, narrow, strap-like leaves in bright yellow that taper directly into the leaf stems without a distinct leaf base. Leaves are smooth with a slight sheen and arch outward in a low, fine-textured tuft. The plant forms a small mound about 7 inches tall and 15 inches wide. In midsummer, slender scapes about 20 inches tall carry lavender bell flowers well above the leaves. At peak it is a bright yellow sprig of narrow leaves with airy lavender flowers above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHostas want shade and steady moisture, the opposite of lavender's hot, dry bed, so give this one a spot under trees or along the north side of the house with ferns and astilbe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part to full shade in rich, well-drained soil kept evenly moist.
