Hosta sieboldiana var. elegans, commonly referred to as "Plantain Lily," is a large and striking perennial often grown for its lush foliage. This hosta variety is known for its stunning, broad, heart-shaped leaves that feature a blue-gray or silvery-blue color, providing a dramatic contrast in shaded or woodland gardens. The foliage has a thick texture, which adds to its visual appeal and makes it resistant to pests and diseases, offering a long-lasting presence in the garden.
