The detail
Hosta 'Atlantis' is a striking, large-leaved perennial prized for its bold, eye-catching variegation. Each heart-shaped leaf features a rich dark green centre surrounded by wide, irregular golden-yellow margins, creating a dramatic display from spring through to autumn. In summer, elegant spikes of soft lavender flowers rise above the foliage, adding further interest to shaded borders and woodland plantings.
This variety forms a dense, weed-suppressing clump of lush foliage, making it an excellent choice for filling shaded areas of the garden where colour and texture are needed. It is fully hardy, low-maintenance, and well suited to UK gardens.
