We don’t grow a lot of hosta…they have to be special…this one is a real knockout! A sport of Gingko Craig, this baby tops out about 10” spreading to 18”. Elongated lance shaped leaves have wavy margins and are generously banded with bright white, very showy! 18” tall scapes of vibrant purple flowers in late summer – Hi Ho! USDA Z3
A smaller sport of Ginko Craig, yes quimo sabe it has the same long leaves with wavy white margins and intense purple flowers, this works best not as a Lone Ranger but massed on the border. We suggest tearing down our version of the Berlin Wall and planting the Mexican border with these, equally effective and lots cheaper according to Tonto.
