Hosta Marilyn Monroe develops into a medium-sized mound, reaching approximately 40cm-45cm in height, with a spread of up to 95cm at maturity. It features a distinctive piecrust edge with apple green, matte-textured leaves that have a white underside. The thick, waxy leaves exhibit ruffled margins and are supported by red petioles. The leaves also display some twisting and folding, which accentuates their white undersides and provides good substance. When the leaves twist upward, they evoke images of Marilyn Monroe's iconic pose over a subway grate. In July & August lavender flowers emerge on arching red scapes up to 90cm tall. This Hosta is slug resistant. Has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
