InfoWhenever we walked past the planting site we noted the various marbled tones (shades) of green that jet out from the edges of the dark green center swath. These shades vary in color from a muted green to a near yellow type of chartreuse. Often, spears of color jet out from the centers well into the pure white borders.
That's why we chose to register this hosta as 'Shades of Green'.
Elongated, sharply pointed arrowhead shaped leaves with clean white edging on green centers. Several hues of green are evident, often with a distinct marbled effect.
Streaks of color often extend out to the leaf edges.
Overall glossy appearance.
