This is one strange hosta! From the Walters Lab, comes a mutation of H. 'Royal Standard'. The leaves have become shorter, more rounded, and have acquired a chartreuse golden edge. Each clump makes a small rosette to 15" wide. In late summer the clumps are topped with fragrant near white (sometimes double) flowers on 20" scapes...a rare treasure!
A sport of 'Royal Standard' with glossy, dark green leaves with a narrow creamy white edge with some streaking. The leaves are a bit shorter and more rounded than 'Royal Standard'. Fragrant white flowers. Early flowers are often double.
