Hosta 'Dixie Cups' is a 2010 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction and one of our personal favorites. Our 1997 cross of Hosta 'Korean Snow' x Hosta 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' forms a 15" tall x 2' wide clump of large, upright, shiny, glaucous, corrugated leaves. A clump of Hosta 'Dixie Cups' is topped with 28" stalks of tightly stacked purple flowers in September.
