A superior sport of Sage, my favorite specimen Hosta, Huge bluish green leaves margined broadly in yellow which changes to cream latter in summer. If you want a big hosta that will stop traffic look no further.
Ivory Coast Hosta Lily has broad ovate leaves ending in a point. Early in the season the leaves are grey-green with a wavy yellow margin. Later the centers grow more blue-green and edges soften to a warm ivory color. Grows to about 24" tall and wide with a 36" purple flower stalk.
