Info | ='Valley's Sub Four'. Very dark green foliage on a small plant. Jeroen wanted to grow hostas that remained lower than 4 cm! He didn't succeed. However they remain lower than 4 inch (10 cm). Another reason is that this year (2004) it is exactly 50 years since England's Roger Bannister ran a mile for the first time in less than 4 minutes. This became known as sub-four. |
