Love Story Hosta is a broad shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its large blue-green foliage with rippled margins and chartreuse that bleeds into the creamy white center flame.  The tall scapes of white bell-like flowers raise up above the mound in mid-summer attracting butterflies and pollinators.  Best color in part sun and moist well-drained soils. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Snails and slugs can cause severe problems if left unchecked.  Foliar nematodes can cause interveinal browning. Plants infected with Hosta Virus X (HVX), tobacco rattle virus or tomato ring spot virus should be immediately removed from garden areas and destroyed.  Otherwise, little to no problems.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Painted Fern, Lungwort, Columbine
