| Info | Intensely ruffled blue leaves with creamy white margins. Hans Hansen found something incredibly special from his cross of (streaked sport of Hosta rupifraga x 'Niagara Falls') x ('Neptune' x 'Fulda'). Some people have all the luck! Hosta 'Hope Springs Eternal' is a beautiful combination of blue leaves with upturned, wide ivory margins of large ruffles. Foliage has good substance and remains fresh looking all season. |
