InfoDistinct shine / glossy leaves with white flowers.
So, what’s distinctive about 'Twilight Shimmer'?
As to clump form we have a nicely rounded mound. As to leaf form, we have definite ventricular expression. But these matters are not distinctive in and of themselves.
Very few hostas (and fewer still greens) have this sort of glossy sheen. While there are a number of more glossy hostas, the majority of these tend to have thin substance. Thankfully, T.S. has good substance.
