This stunning green leaved hosta is both a great garden subject and the parent of many great hybrids. The 60" wide mounds are layered with heavily rippled, deeply veined green leaves. In midsummer, the clumps are topped with 3' scapes of white flowers. For hosta breeders, this has proven to be a superb parent for wavy edges.
