The Risky Business hosta is a perennial ornamental plant that grows vigorously. Lush tufts that grow 40 to 50 centimetres tall and about 60 centimetres wide consist of elongated, pointy leaves. Leaf blades have narrow creamy-white centres and dark green edges. The colour pattern divides each leaf into three stripes. The plant blooms mid-July with lavender-purple flowers that sit on 65 centimetre tall stalks. Flowers stalks take on a unique white colour. Presented variety forms shapely regular tufts. Leaf colours can be admired both in shaded and more sunny situations. Hostas look best planted in groups. They constitute a great covering for areas under trees and around shrubs. Hostas can also fill edgings, stream banks, edges of ponds, rock gardens, and containers.

The Risky Business hosta is recommended for humous, fertile, permeable soil that is moderately moist. It prefers partial shade and East-facing situations. Presented variety is resistant to frost and winters well even without covering. There is no set planting time or period. You can put rhizomes into the soil from May until the beginning of October. Hostas are easy to grow and do not require much effort from a gardener.
