I fell in love with this one when I first saw it growing in the Minks' garden. The large leaves are dark grayish green and have an even yellow margin. The leaves have great substance. White flowers.
This Eldrin Minks gem is a past winner of the prestigious Savory Shield Award, and is the heir-apparent to H 'Frances Williams' The broad-spreading clump to 40" wide is composed of elongated blue-green leaves with a bold, golden edge.. absolutely no "leaf burning" The stunning clumps are topped with white flowers on 4' tall scapes in early summer.. a distinctive new look in hostas!
