Info | This towering seedling from the Wards resembles a gold version of its classic parent, 'Sagae'. Broad, wavy leaves are strongly veined and glossy. The heavy foliage forms a stately, vase shaped mound about 30" tall and 60" across that blooms with near white, fertile flowers in early summer. Hosta 'Ivory Tower' excels as a background or specimen plant, and brings some drama to the garden |
