Hosta 'Color Parade'

Mark Zilis registered this cultivar in 2003. It is a tissue culture sport of H. 'Fragrant Bouquet' which forms a 17 inch high mound that spreads to about 33 inches in width. The fragrant flowers are very pale lavender in color and bloom in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "It has a tendency to sport to a white-centered form that has much less vigor. Remove such shoots as they appear."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Paul Aden'.
