Hosta sieboldii aka Funkia

Hosta sieboldii, also known as the small-leaved plantain lily, is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagace family. Native to Sakhalin, the Kurils, and Japan, this compact, clump-forming perennial is a popular choice for gardeners. The leaves of Hosta sieboldii are narrow and lanceolate, reaching up to 15cm in length. They feature mid-green centers and are narrowly-edged with white. In mid to late summer, this plant produces beautiful funnel-shaped flowers in a lavender color. The flowers emerge on stems that can grow up to 60cm tall. While Hosta sieboldii is primarily grown outdoors, it can also be cultivated as a relatively rare houseplant. To ensure its thriving growth, regular watering is essential. It is recommended to place the plant within 1 foot of a window to provide it with long-lasting, direct light. Additionally, Hosta sieboldii prefers well-draining soil. Repotting the plant each time it doubles in size eliminates the need for added fertilizers. With its attractive foliage and easy care requirements, Hosta sieboldii is a delightful addition to any garden or indoor space.
