The Hosta Pilgrim forms a small mound, reaching approximately 20 to 30 cm in height and spreading up to 60 cm at maturity. It grows quickly to a substantial size. Its thick leaves are notable for their broad, creamy edges that start as yellow and transition to creamy-white in the summer, with an irregular dark green centre. The leaves have a distinct heart shape on long petioles. In June, lavender flowers emerge well above the crown on 55 cm scapes, lasting into July. The leaves possess good substance. This variety is exceptionally attractive when used for edging.
