Info'Betsy' is a truly giant sieboldiana seedling raised by David Parks.
'Betsy' may be larger than all of the other hostas in most gardens, but 'Betsy' is a graceful specimen with excellent color, and forms a very orderly, yet giant mound. 'Betsy' will not disappoint if you are looking for a giant with the refinement of a princess. 'Betsy' is very rare and will remain that way.
