Hosta Patriot forms a medium-sized clump reaching approximately 30cm-45 cm in height, with a spread of up to 60cm at maturity. It is one of the most renowned variegated Hostas ever introduced. This Hosta produces an attractive mound of large, ovate-shaped, satiny dark green leaves with irregular ivory margins. In summer, racemes of funnel-shaped lavender-blue flowers appear on 90cm tall scapes that rise well above the foliage mound. As a moderate to fast-growing plant, it adds significant interest to borders and containers. The plant exhibits good sun tolerance and resistance to slugs. It was awarded the American Hosta Growers Association Hosta of the Year in 1997 and received the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
