Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hosta 'White Feather' emerges with leaves ghostly white creating a striking spring display. As the leaves mature they warm a little into creamy yellow and then develop streaks of green amongst the white for a continuation of the unique foliage show. By summer the leaves go completely green. The show starts again the next spring! Lavender flowers. Note: The foliage of young plants can be thin and susceptible to a little damage from frost or drying winds but established plants get sturdier and grow out of this problem.

Leaves emerge pure white in spring then gradually age to mottled & streaked light green. Needs good culture and proper amount of sun to perform well. Pale lavender flowers in high summer. Plant in morning sun and afternoon shade. Medium size hosta.
