Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a large hosta with bright green leaves topped with fragrant, white blooms tinged with lilac in summer.

Rich, deep-green, wavy-edged foliage and fragrant white flowers make this variety a standard by which to measure the others. Each long, narrow leaf is up to 9" long and massed together they create a mound 2' tall and 5' wide! The late-summer, cup shaped, white blossoms rise prettily on 3' scapes. While this beauty is more sun-tolerant than some types, it still performs best in partial shade. PSh/M PP2467
