Info'Mahkato' is a streaked sport of a fascinating plant --- 'Fragrant Blue'! If you're at all interested in growing hostas from seed, just imagine what you could do with a plant like this! Some really nice seedlings have come from using 'Fragrant Blue' as a pod parent, and adding variegation makes this one really hot mama!
For those who wonder what's in a hosta name, Mahkato is a Dakota Indian word meaning "blue earth". A pretty name for a pretty plant.
