Info | PP19623 (13/1/2009) EU PVR. Tardiana with a broad creamy white edge. A showy new sport of the ever popular 'Halcyon'. This beautiful hosta with thick foliage displays a wide, creamy white margin and blue center in spring. By summer, the margins have brightened to white and the center deepens to bluegreen. During the hot days of late summer, portions of the margin may develop a greenish blush. Lavender flowers are produced in midsummer. Heart-shaped blue leaves with a very wide white margin, a sport of 'Halcyon' that looks a lot like 'Great Escape'. |
