This introduction from Handy Hatfield is a truly superb hosta, only short on recognition. H. 'Rhapsody' is a vigorously growing H. 'Fortunei Stenantha' sport that emerges and holds the nice wide clear white margins instead of the typical yellow. In early summer, the 4' wide clumps are topped with 28" scapes of medium lavender flowers.
Long narrow dark green leaves with white margins; lavender flowers.
The long, tapered, dark green leaves have a crisp, uniform white margin.
