The Hosta 'Patriot' is a striking perennial plant that is widely admired for its bold, variegated foliage. As part of the Hosta genus, this cultivar thrives in shaded or partially shaded areas, making it a popular choice for UK gardens where it can brighten up even the darkest corners.

Hosta 'Patriot' is best known for its broad, heart-shaped leaves, which feature a distinctive contrast between dark green centres and bright, creamy-white margins. These vivid white edges add a sense of elegance and visual interest, making the plant stand out in garden borders or as a feature in shaded beds. The leaves have a slightly corrugated texture, giving them a lush and rich appearance.

In midsummer, Hosta 'Patriot' produces tall, slender flower stalks that rise above the foliage, adorned with delicate lavender-coloured blooms. Although the flowers are attractive, the plant is primarily grown for its ornamental leaves. It grows to an average height of around 50cm and can spread up to 90cm, creating a dense, eye-catching mound of foliage.

This variety of Hosta is fairly easy to care for, making it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. It prefers well-drained, moist soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry spells. Slug control is also recommended, as Hostas can be prone to damage from these pests.

Ideal for planting in woodland gardens, under trees, or as ground cover, Hosta 'Patriot' provides year-round interest, with its vibrant leaves retaining their beauty from spring until the first frost. It is also a versatile companion to other shade-loving plants like ferns and astilbes, enhancing the overall texture and colour palette of the garden.
