A pleasant, small, tapered leaf. Lime green with ivory white margin.
This is one of my favorite small hostas. The small, narrow leaves of medium green are bordered with a very wide creamy edge. H. 'Verna Jean' quickly forms a compact clump to 16" wide, making a bright spot in any shade garden. The pale lavender flowers are atop 14" scapes in late spring.
Small tapered lime-green leaves with ivory-white margins, a nice dwarf plant.
Small, narrow light green leaves with a creamy white margin. Lavender flower.
This forms a cute little clump of light green leaves with cream margins. Pale lavender flowers.
