Info='Chickadee'.
Hosta 'Chickadee', a reverse sport of Hosta 'Dixie Chick' (H. 'Masquerade' x H. 'Invincible') . H. 'Chickadee' is a very unusual plant in that the thick waxy leaves are creamy yellow, edged in dark green, and peppered with green flecks...a most unique pattern in hostas. This small grower makes a 8" wide clump, topped in late summer with 1' tall spikes of large lavender flowers.
