Improved White Feather Hosta

Improved White Feather Hosta

Improved White Feather Hosta is a new take on an old favorite. It grows taller, is more robust, yields thicker leaves and has a more upright habit. Improved White Feather Hosta is just that—a variety that is stronger, more vigorous and more substantial than its predecessor. While the leaves of its little brother grow horizontally, this one's reach for the sky, and are thicker and sturdier. These qualities give Improved White Feather a more upright habit—this plant grows 20-22" tall—and make it more sun tolerant (although, like the original, it performs and looks best in full shade). This foliage is uniquely hued, opening as white before developing green veining and then changing to a blend of cream and green in the weeks that follow. From early summer to early fall, it yields lavender, bell-shaped blooms that light up your landscape and attract butterflies. A stunning addition to any shady border, try planting them together in groups as ground cover for a real attention-getting display. You're sure to love this special, new hosta!
