The amazing Hosta 'Gypsy Rose' was discovered as a mutation of the famed Hosta 'Striptease'. From our observations, Hosta 'Gypsy Rose' stays slightly smaller than its parent, forming a 30" wide clump. Most importantly, the central pattern of the leaf is much brighter yellow than in Hosta 'Striptease', which is more light green. Hosta 'Gypsy Rose' is a dazzling plant that should be a part of every hosta collection.
