A lovely, compact variegated hosta, 'June' (Plantain Lily) is a great addition to shady areas where it forms an attractive, dense mound of smooth, heart-shaped, blue-green leaves, irregularly splashed with bright yellow and greenish yellow in their centers. Bell-shaped lavender blooms appear in late summer, rising on scapes 18 in. long (45 cm) but the primary contribution of this hosta is its lovely foliage. An easy grower, this clump-forming perennial grows 15 in. tall (37 cm) and spreads 28 in. (70 cm).
