| Info | 12" tall. Light Shade. Grey green lanceolate leaves with pure white margins which vary in width and which have some streaking towards the midrib. Leaves are wavy. Lavender flowers in August. This Lachman hybrid (H. 'Resonance' x H. 'Wm. Lachman' x H. 'Halcyon') has long been one of our favorite hostas. We offer this 2' wide clumper with bluish halcyon-like leaves, each surrounded by a clear white margin. In late summer, these spectacular clumps are topped with 22" stalks of light lavender flowers! Gray-green lance-shaped leaves with wavy edges and a white margin that streaks a bit into the center. Lavender flowers. Leaves are a unique gray-green with a wavy crisp white margin. The long narrow and tapered leaf with it's metallic sheen is quite attractive. Lavender flowers midseason. |
