| Info | We have seen few hostas attract more attention in our garden that Gil Jones' Hosta 'Shazaam'. This marvelous H. 'William Lachman' hybrid makes a stunning 2' wide clump of pointed green leaves with heavy corrugation. Each leaf is surrounded by a dramatic 1" wide creamy border that makes the clump "jump" visually. This is certainly one of the best introductions from Gil's extensive breeding program. The vigorous clumps are topped with 2' tall spikes of lavender flowers in midsummer |
