Hosta 'Undulata Erromena' – Graceful Green Wavy Foliage

Pure Green Undulating Form

The narrowly ovate leaves feature the signature wavy margins of the Undulata group, creating a flowing, rhythmic texture. The foliage is a clean, medium to deep green with a slight sheen. Without variegation, the plant's energy goes entirely into vigorous growth, forming a dense, arching mound quickly. The thin leaves move gracefully in the slightest breeze.

Reliable Green Foil

'Undulata Erromena' serves as an excellent green foil for variegated or colored companions. Its fast growth makes it effective for quick groundcover in shaded areas. The solid green foliage is more sun-tolerant than variegated types, though it still prefers shade. It's also more slug-resistant due to the absence of thin, white tissue.

Historical Context

As a registered form of H. undulata var. erromena, this cultivar preserves a classic green variant of the species that has been in cultivation for decades. The AHS registration ensures its distinct identity in modern hosta collections.
