Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A beautiful Hosta noted for its rather narrow, wavy, green leaves with thin, white margins. Though typically grown for its dense,weed inhibiting foliage, the flowers are showy with purple stripes and stand about 12 inches tall. A very attractive, versatile, and easy-going plant. PSh/M

This small, cascading hosta is perfect for edging or groundcover! 12" high and 18" across, the olive green leaves have narrow margins of yellow to creamy white and are satiny, veined, rippled, and lance-like. Purple striped flowers on 24" leafy scapes bloom in late summer.

This small beauty has narrow elongated, lance shaped green leaves with a bright cream margin. Great for edging or in mass plantings. Miniature hostas are great in shady containers or troughs, at the front of the border or along pathways. Dangerous for collectors who will want to have many more than just one!
