Info | "Wow, I must have that!", several voices in unison chimed in from across the room, as the slide of Hosta 'Spring Fling' flashed across the screen. This Roy Herold hybrid is indeed a WOW plant. Each wide and long pointed green leaf has been carefully adorned with a heavily scalloped wide creamy white border. This vigorous grower is among the most distinctive and elegant hostas ever introduced. In spring, the 3' clumps are topped with stalks of lavenders flowers. Med to large, watercolor effect where the white changes to green, a real white piecrust edge, vigorous grower. this hosta will set everyone on their butts! |
