Hosta Elata is a substantial plant, reaching a height of approximately 70cm to 80cm with a spread of up to 80cm upon maturity. The foliage comprises elongated, almost heart-shaped green leaves on long, upward petioles. These leaves feature deeply impressed veins, wavy margins, and pointed tips. During August and September, flowering scapes rise above the foliage mound to an impressive height of up to 150cm, bearing 20-30 funnel-shaped flowers ranging from pale purple to white with yellow anthers. This plant is resistant to slugs but should be grown in dappled shade for optimal health.
