Pearl Lake is a small-medium hosta that grows in a dense mound to 15\ tall and to 36\" wide. It is believed to be a hybrid of H. nakaiana. Heart-shaped, blue-green leaves (to 5\" long and 4\" wide) have slightly undulate edges and a mucronate tip. Funnel-shaped, lavender flowers (each to 2 3/4\" long) bloom in late spring to early summer in racemes atop upright, narrow, greenish-white scapes rising to 32\" tall. Prior to bloom, the spherical buds on the flower scapes reportedly resemble pearls, hence the cultivar name. Piedmont Gardens 1982."

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Plants are tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Plants perform best in rich, moist, organic soils. Plants need consistent moisture during the growing season. Water is best applied directly to the soil beneath the leaves. Divide plants as needed in spring or autumn. Division is usually easiest in early spring before the leaves unfurl.
