Hosta Strawberry Surprise forms a medium-sized mound reaching approximately 38 cm to 50 cm in height and spreading up to 80 cm at maturity. This variety is known for its rapid growth and features heart-shaped, slightly cupped, and corrugated green leaves with a yellow margin. The large blue-green leaves bordered with a wide, irregular yellow edge create a striking display on an impressive medium-sized mound. As the season progresses, the border transitions to cream, complemented by tall flower scapes in a glaucous red-burgundy hue that reach up to 80 cm, holding lavender flowers well above the foliage. This plant is resistant to slugs and thrives best in dappled shade.
