Hosta 'Christmas Eve' is a lovely sport of Hosta 'Night Before Christmas', shared by its discoverer, Hans Hansen, and registered by us in 2010. We've never had enough to share until now, but seeing it well grown in Hans Hansen's Michigan garden reminded us that we needed to make this available. Hosta 'Christmas Eve' matures into a stunning 2' tall x 4' wide specimen with nicely corrugated green leaves with a wide creamy white border. In late summer, the leaves turn green, dramatically increasing the vigor.
