| Info | Hosta 'Dixie Cups' is a 2010 PDN introduction and one of my personal favorites. Our 1997 cross of H. 'Korean Snow' x H. 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' forms a 15" tall x 2' wide clump of large, upright, shiny glaucous corrugated leaves. The clump is topped with 28" stalks of tightly stacked purple flowers in September. This selection has not been tissue cultured. |
