Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Slugs...watch out! Don Rawson's name for his selection really describes the thick and tough quality of this Hosta's foliage! 'Rhino Hide' forms compact 20 x 30" clumps with corrugated blue green leaves centered with creamy yellow. A little slow growing at first, as are a lot of the choice Hosta, but your patience is rewarded with along lived plant that needs little care.
Unruly mound of very thick, heavily corrugated blue-green leaves with a narrow gold band down the centers. White flowers in early summer. Plant in afternoon to full shade. Large hosta.
