Hosta fortunei 'Patriot' - 2026

Hosta fortunei 'Patriot' is a medium-sized, clump-forming perennial renowned for its striking foliage and adaptability to a range of light conditions. The plant features large, ovate, dark green leaves adorned with broad, irregular white margins that become pure white as the season progresses. This cultivar is a sport of the popular H. 'Francee' and is appreciated for its crisp contrast and sun tolerance.

In mid to late summer, 'Patriot' produces tall scapes bearing racemes of bell-shaped, lavender flowers. These blooms rise above the foliage, adding vertical interest and attracting pollinators. The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for shaded borders or woodland gardens. Its ability to tolerate more sun than many other hostas adds to its versatility in the landscape.
