Plant Type: Hostas

Hosta ‘Lakeside Black Satin’ is a hybrid of Hosta ‘Ventricosa’. It is called so because of its smooth, black-green foliage that has a satin-like sheen. A good mound of scalloped, heart-shaped leaves. Blooms bell-shaped, dark-purple flowers mid to late summer. This variety of hosta still owes its popularity to its dark foliage that can be arranged with other varieties of hostas or plants to produce a cool contrasting effect. The ‘Lakeside Black Satin Hosta’ prefers shaded spots and can even grow well in fully shaded places.
