Abstract
A new and distinct Hosta plant named ‘Leaving Me Breathless’ produces medium-sized low mounds. The foliage is in basal rosettes, broadly ovate, leaves with long narrowly acute apices, cordate bases and slightly wavy margins. The leaves are variegated having bluish-green margins and pale-yellow to creamy white centers with intermediate color separation between the margin and center of variably large segments of several shades of chartreuse. The medium-sized leaves have a glaucous matte top and bottom. The broadly campanulate flowers are pale purple with white edges appearing beginning in mid-July. Each flower is attractively subtended by a floral bract that mimics the leaf variegation making the scape showy for long periods. ‘Leaving Me Breathless’ is useful in the landscape, as a container plant, a specimen or en masse.
