Flowers are pinkish lavender. Likes shade but dislikes ground covers underneath. Large sized pointed, light green leaves. Rounded, heart-shaped green leaves. Excellent for mass plantings, it is very vigorous, multiplies rapidly, and is very floriferous. Lavender flowers. Name has been incorrectly used for Hosta nakaiana, a much smaller plant (6-7vp).
