InfoA white picta form of H. 'Blue Mammoth'. Similar in appearance as H. 'Guardian Angel', but holds the white center much later in summer. Eventually it turns greenish white. Bud is Wiser is fairly vigorous due to late summer green center. The plant was named after Hosta grower Henry (Bud) Martin who several years ago gave me a blue hosta which we called Bud's Blue. Bud's Blue turned out to be 'Blue Mammoth'.
A white centered form of Blue Mammoth.  As with most white centered hostas, it will not be as large as the blue form, but since the white center turns greenish in late summer, it is still pretty vigorous. White flowers.
H. 'Blue Mammoth' with a white center…good substance and unique coloration. Has been a slow grower but we are offering nicely developed plants that are growing well. White flowers.
