Hosta 'Paradigm' ~ Paradigm Hosta heat-loving Image: Photo by David JParadigm Hosta is a large shade loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its foliage. The corrugated heart shaped basal foliage has golden green centers and blue green streaked margins. The colors intensive in summer. Small bell like pale lavender to near white flowers raise up on scapes in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well drained soils. Paradigm has good resistance to slug damage.
