Like an especially handsome blue-green hat, the large leaves of this shade-lover have a lovely, variably-wide brim of cream. PSh/M
This lovely shade plant has green, ovate leaves with buttery yellow margins. Lavender blooms to 24" come in mid to late summer. Forms an attractive mound and can tolerate more sun than some hostas with ample water.
Dome shaped mound of heavily textured, blue casted, dark green leaves with wide creamy yellow borders that age to white; good grower. Violet striped, pale lavender flowers in late summer. Plant in partial sun to full shade. Medium size hosta.
Heart shaped leaves with a creamy white margin and a texture that is reminiscent of a Southern gentleman"s seersucker suit endear this hosta to all. Midsize, at 16-18" tall, this is an easy to site shade addition - it doesn't need special consideration or lots of TLC. Happy in dappled to fairly deep shade.
