Hosta ‘Undulata Albomarginata’
Hosta ‘Undulata Albomarginata’ has been the most commonly planted hosta for the last hundred years. Unfortunately slugs love it too, and without slug protection it can look pretty awful in just a few weeks. The dark green leaves of a young Undulata Albomarginata are thin and smooth, but it develops a slight corrugation as it matures and the white margins seem to blend into the green, creating a very pretty effect. This hosta produces a lot of flower scapes but supposedly does not form seed pods… although last year two of my Undulata Albomarginatas did form seed pods. I tried planting a few of the seeds but none of them germinated.
