| Info | Unusual misting and mottling early. 'Pathfinder' sport developed at Q&Z nursery that exhibits beautifully misted foliage. Like the irresistibly fun carnival treat, this fascinating sport of 'Pathfinder' will wrap you up with white leaves covered in a web of green mist. The foliage is of good substance and brightest in the spring. By late summer, the leaves will turn green. This gives Hosta 'Cotton Candy' a surprisingly vigorous growth rate for a plant of this type. |
