| Info | What do hosta folks want in a "dream hosta"? Frequently, they want it to be very dark green with white flowers. Add a very upright habit and highly cupped leaves and you have 'Cup of Grace'. This hosta is very well proportioned and exhibits classic grace. This introduction from Doug has a lot of great things going for it , very dark green leaves are highly cupped and held in an upright fashion. These traits coupled with good substance and topped with white flowers create a very graceful clump that will stand out in any garden. A dynamic connection between Halcyon and some pollen from one of my earlier creations - one that wasn't good enough to make the grade we have since refer to it as "Spoons" ( a 'Breeders Choice' / OP seedling ). Dark green deeply cupped rugose leaves arch toward the heavens. Mardy instantly came up with it's name 'Cup of Grace'. A good grower that is not bothered by insects/slugs. |
