An aptly name hosta that winks like a friendly snake in the lush shade garden, Snake Eyes Hosta offers a stunning display in an attractive mounded form. Each medium to dark green leaf has a cream-colored eye surrounded by white streaks. In midsummer, tall flower spikes burst up with nodding lavender flowers. Those bell-shaped flowers, relatively large for a hosta, attract butterflies and add a splash of tropical color in shady spots. Use Snake Eyes in a large garden or a container with other shade-friendly plants, and enjoy a large helping of heart-shaped leaves in a truly one-of-a-kind pattern. Hosta 'Snake Eyes'
