About the Product

Undulata Albomarginata is a long-grown, dependable hosta with medium green leaves edged in wavy white, with gray-green streaks where the edge meets the center. It is one of the first hostas to come up in spring.

It forms a mound about 18 inches tall and 40 inches wide and spreads readily, which makes it useful for mass plantings and edging long shady beds. Pale lavender flowers rise on tall 31 to 45-inch scapes in midsummer.

What it looks like

Oval, pointed leaves in medium green with wavy, irregular white margins and gray-green streaks where the white meets the green. Leaves have a slightly twisted, undulating surface. The plant forms a spreading mound about 18 inches tall and 40 inches wide. In midsummer, tall scapes 31 to 45 inches tall carry pale lavender trumpet flowers high above the foliage. At peak a planting of these forms a continuous band of white-edged leaves with lavender spikes above.

Growing it with lavender

Hostas 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.

Care

Plant in part to full shade in rich, humus-heavy soil that stays evenly moist but drains well; water deeply during dry spells, especially the first summer. Hardy in zones 3-9. Cut spent scapes after bloom and divide crowded clumps in early spring as the shoots emerge.

How to grow Undulata Albomarginata

Hosta · Hosta

Hostas want shade to part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Blue and big-leaved types (like H. sieboldiana) need the most shade; many gold and fragrant types tolerate more sun.

Hardy in zones 3a–9b

Spring through early fall; spring as eyes emerge is easiest.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Arrives as a dormant crown with pointed buds (eyes) and a mass of fleshy roots. Soak roots 1–2 hours, then plant with roots spread out over a mound and the crown even with the soil. Water well; leaves follow in a few weeks.

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Pointed shoots (eyes) push up in mid to late spring, later than many perennials, and unfurl over a couple of weeks. Small plants may stay dormant until May; a firm crown is alive.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring through early fall; spring as eyes emerge is easiest.

How deep

Set the crown (where roots meet shoots) even with the soil surface. Plants from pots go at the same depth they grew.

Spacing

By mature size: minis 6–12 inches; medium 2 feet; giants 3–5 feet.

Soil

Rich, loamy, high in organic matter · pH 5.5–7.0

Fix-it tip: Mix in compost, composted manure or leaves. In clay, raise the planting area slightly so crowns don't sit wet over winter.

Sun

Part shade (tolerates full shade; morning sun).

Blue-leaved types keep their color best in shade. Gold types brighten with some morning sun; most scorch in hot afternoon sun.
