Info6" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade
Shiny ivory white with emerald green margins. Good substance.
We finally have enough to share of this award winner from the fabulous hosta breeding program of Boston's Roy Herold (H. 'Neat Splash' x H. gracillima). H. 'Medusa' makes a cute dwarf clump to only 1' wide with long wavy leaves of dark green with a stunning creamy white center... perfect for the woodland rock garden! In early summer, the clumps are topped with 15" scapes of light lavender flowers.
A mini with shiny ivory-white to yellow leaves margined in emerald-green, they are very long and twist slightly w/rippled edges; purple flowers and great substance.
Long, narrow, creamy yellow centered leaves are edged in green and are highly rippled. A delightful little plant. Purple flowers.
