Leaves are thick with a smooth surface, and the ruffled edges give the whole plant a frilly outline. The plant forms a medium mound about 11 to 18 inches tall and 28 to 30 inches wide. In midsummer, purple scapes about 24 inches tall carry light lavender trumpet flowers. At peak the cream ruffles and purple stems create a lively contrast.\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\u003ePlant 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.
