Hosta Striptease will form a medium to large mound of 18"-22" in height, with a spread of up to 36", at maturity. It has dark green leaves with a unique thin white line that surrounds a narrow elliptical gold center. Leaf margins are blue-green in spring but dark green by late spring. Vigorous grower that will perform well in most light but would be happiest with good morning sun. This variety, with its popular striking colouration, has sported many other varieties. Lavender flowers on 30" scapes, in July that will last into August. This variety  is also slug resistant. American Hosta Growers Association Hosta Of The Year 2005
