InfoHosta 'Wings of a Prayer' is a sport of Hosta 'Praying Hands' that differs from the parent by having a pure white margin, even as it emerges in the spring, while Hosta 'Praying Hands' starts out with a chartreuse margin that changes to yellow then to creamy white.
This distinct variegation makes this hosta a wonderful improvement over its parent.
