The fragrant lavender flowers of this hosta appear in late summer, however hosta’s are not known for their flowers. Hosta’s provide bright color in shade with wonderful foliage and Stained Glass is no exception. Stained Glass is a sun tolerant hosta and should be planted in any moist, well-drained spot. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions, tubs and patio pots, and is one of the most popular landscape plants. A great choice for any beginner gardener. ... additional info
Obedient Plant - Variegata The Obedient Plant Physostegia ‘Variegata’, 'Physostegia virginiana', has bright white spiked flowers that are 36” tall and a plant spread of 18-24”. ‘Variegata’ blooms from June to September and the waxy, green leaves have bright white margins that makes this plant a little different from other white blooming perennials. ‘Variegata’ needs a full sun area but will tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained soil. ‘Variegata’ is not as aggressive as most other Physostegia. Use ‘Variegata’ in borders, mixed plantings, massed plantings (especially to separate other colors), in large containers or as cut flowers. Try darker colors such Hemerocallis ‘Little Business’, Platycodon ‘Balloon Flower’ or Veronica ‘Royal Candles’ as a contrast.
