Purple Flowering Hosta Plants – Shade Perennial, Zones 4–9

Scientific name: Hosta spp.

Purple Flowering Hosta for Shade Gardens

This classic hosta forms a lush mound of green, heart-shaped foliage and sends up tall flower stalks with lavender-purple blooms in summer. It is a dependable perennial for shaded borders, woodland-style gardens, beneath trees, and north-facing foundations.
