Striptease is the 2005 American Hosta Growers Group Hosta of the Year! The pointy, ovate leaves have sharply contrasting dark green, 2" wide margins and narrow, gold centers; looks like a gold leaf within another leaf. A thin, slip-like, white line is occasionally present along the edge of the gold silhouette, hence the name 'Striptease'. Pale violet flowers appear on 30" scapes in mid to late summer.
