Lakeside Looking Glass Hosta

Lakeside Looking Glass Hosta is a perennial shade plant suitable for Zone 4 gardens. It has ruffled shiny dark green leaves and purple blooms in the summer.

Purchasing this Hosta was a must have from the first time I saw a picture of it in a Hosta Journal.

Dark Shiny Leaves

The dark green shiny waxy leaves with curling edges was a very unusual Hosta and something real different for my garden.

The pictures you see are of a plant that I have moved at least 3 times, each time finding more shade for it as even with the heavy textured leaves, they will burn if in too much sun.

So, even though it is maybe 5 years old, each time it is moved, it does get set back again. It does seem to recover each time; very well.

Some people that see it are unsure of how to react to the different looking plant, but I love it for that reason. It is a striking and unusual specimen plant.

Hello, my name is Judi Ruedy and I have been a Master Gardener Volunteer for about 20 years and have been involved in a local garden club since 1975. My love for Hostas started a long time ago before I knew anything about growing anything, and Hostas were not in vogue. I created this website specifically for zone 4 Northern gardeners that need help finding perennials specific to their growing area. So much information out there on the web doesn’t apply to our colder growing climate, so I thought I would share my own findings here on this site.
