Info | I never understood why 'Dark Star' was not more popular. It is a great plant! Maybe this streaked sport will be more to everyone's liking. The pointed and wavy blue-green leaves are randomly streaked with white. Like its parent, Hosta 'Falling Star' quickly forms a dense, perfectly layered mound about 12" high and 24" across. Unfortunately, the lavender flowers that bloom in mid summer are not very fertile. |
