We have always been impressed with this introduction from the late Bob Savory. The venusta hybrid makes a 2' wide clump of small green leaves that is topped in mid summer with a virtual snowstorm of pure white flowers held well above the foliage. H. 'Ballerina' deserves to be much wider know as a great border hosta for the woodland garden.
