  • Description

  • Notes

Long, narrow, wavy green leaves with thin white margins makes 'Stiletto' a distinctive small hosta. A stoloniferous growth habit lends itself well to use in borders as well as an edging plant. Funnel-shaped purple striped flowers in late summer. Grows 10 inches tall and about 20 to 24 inches wide, though it will spread out wider over time. Flower scapes are about 12 inches tall.
