| Description | This sun-tolerant variety lets you grow hosta where you never could before; in full sun and the hot, humid conditions of the Southeast, even down to Florida. Still an excellent performer in the North, the green leaves best show their white variegation in full sun. Summer brings tall scapes of pink to white flowers that attract hummingbirds. Herbaceous perennial. |
|---|---|

| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | Attracts Hummingbirds, Dramatic Foliage Color, Attracts Pollinators |

| Patent Act | Asexual reproduction of plants protected by the Plant Patent Act is prohibited during the life of the patent. |

| Care Instructions | Provide slightly acidic, well-drained, humusy soil. Prefers consistent moisture but is more drought-tolerant than other hostas. Best foliage variegation in full sun. Best for hot areas that are also humid; may not be able to tolerate Southwestern dry heat. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Remove old, faded foliage before new leaves emerge in early spring. |
