Info='Keyari'.
JN: Keyari Giboushi = "Keyari hosta".
Shiny dark green leaves (8" x 4.5") produce a low spreading mound. With maturity, the leaves develop a slightly wavy edge in a dense clump. With some sun, a multitude of late summer white blooms are produced on kikutti style ( crane's neck ) flower heads. These dense nodding flowers are a must for the hosta flower enthusiast. Very impressive. Very unusual flower cluster. 14" x 20". Shade to 3/4 sun. Growth average.
