Hosta ‘Undulata Univittata’
Hosta ‘Undulata Univittata’ is a very common hosta, and it is always one of the first to emerge in spring. It has wavy leaves with curved tips and a very thin substance that makes them a real attraction for slugs. It is interesting to see how the leaves on one hosta will not all look the same and will have many different markings. Undulata Univittata is listed as being sterile, but it does sometimes form seed pods, and the seeds are viable. I have one solid dark green seedling grown from seeds from Undulata Univittata that has a few leaves with the colors reversed… leaves with dark green centers and white borders. More of this young seedling’s leaves are getting the variegated coloration every year, so it will be interesting to see how it develops.
Leaves:
7 inches long, 4 1/4 inches wide
1 1/2-inch white center with wide deep green margin
7 to 8 vein pairs
Flowers:
pale lavender
blooms early July to early August
32 to 45-inch-high scapes
Mound size:
45 or more inches in diameter
18 inches high
