| Info | Extreme puckers. It is the deep, deep dark greenness, coupled with the extreme puckering, that makes this hosta unforgettable! Its petioles are stiffly starched so as to hold every single leaf for the viewer to enjoy - yet the clump has grace and rhythm and is a complete vision - a giant jewel among its garden companions. 2 1/2-3' tall by 4-5' wide. Just stand back! Dark green leaves are heavily puckered and held in an upright manner…can make a very large clump if in the right location. Topped with white flowers. |
