Info | 'Champaign Taste' was named for the town Champaign, Ill. Where the Schroeders are growing it and identified it to be a winner. Not a giant but a medium hosta that has a distinctive lime green color and flaming white tips. The leaves tend to cup up and are beautifully corrugated. The seer-suckering give it that bubbly feeling. The white flowers add to the sparkle. Slower growing than most but worth the wait. Vivid lime green color. White flame tip, some darker green. |
