Hosta - Sum & Substance
Awarded the prestigious Hosta of the Year in 2005 by the American Hosta Growers Association, ‘Striptease’ is a medium-sized shade perennial celebrated for its vivid tricolor foliage and elegant form. Its heart-shaped, slightly wavy leaves hold a golden or chartreuse center, bordered by a thin white line that fades into richly dark green margins—creating a dramatic “striped” effect. In midsummer, this bold foliage gives way to delicate lavender or pale violet bell-shaped flowers atop slender scapes. Vigorous, adaptable, and reliable, Striptease makes a stunning focal point in shade gardens, containers, and mixed borders.
