=sieboldiana 'Great Expectations'.
Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Hosta 1992.
20" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. 50-90% shade.
Absolutely gorgeous plant. Chartreuse center turns creamy white. Dark green margin with bluish cast and streaks to center. White flowers in July. 1994 AHS President's Trophy; 1994 Benedict Award.
Yellow center in spring turns white later. Dark green irregular margin, streaking to the center. Cordate, rugose leaves 6" x 4". 33" scapes with white flowers.
An outstanding beauty, green with creamy white center.
What can we say that hasn't been said about the most beautiful hosta available today? This sport of H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' from England has a fabulous cream center (emerging gold in early spring) surrounded by a dramatic wide blue green edge... sure to brighten any garden. The medium sized clump to 30" wide is topped with near white flowers in early summer... once you see it you gotta have it! H. 'Great Expectations' needs morning sun or very open shade to grow properly.
Extremely wide, irregular margins of blue-green enveloping a yellow-cream center. A real prize when mature, requires good light and grows slowly; near white flowers.
A sport of sieboldiana 'Elegans', one of the most beautiful of all the hostas.
