Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hosta ‘Vulcan’ is a vigorous grower that displays broad, heart-shaped leaves with pure white centers and wide, deep sea-green margins. Lavender flowers appear in summer. A sport of ‘Captain Kirk’. Hostas, also called Plantain Lilies, grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils. A good partner for ferns. Although the flowers are attractive, Hostas are usually grown for their ornamental foliage.
