Info | The very round satiny green leaves with good white backs are held like a cluster of balloons at a carnival. This small hosta gets an "A" for all-around excellence! H. 'Scallion Pancakes' is a small plant with a large presence, it stands out from the crowd with a distinct architectural form. Not the typical shape of a small plant, it holds each flat oval leaf straight up and out from the red petioles, showing soft white backs. Good substance, fast growth, pretty dark purple flared bellshaped flowers en masse starting in mid August, nicely in scale with the foliage. Highly fertile with many stout purple pods. Very prominent veins. The satiny leaves exhibit a tinge of blue. |
