This splendid introduction from the late Eleanor Lachman is one of the most stunning hostas from her renowned breeding program. Hosta 'Hampshire County' makes a 2' tall x 30" wide clump of large, corrugated, blue-green leaves that, with age, develop a 1.5" wide creamy white margin. There are few hostas even today that can rival the exquisite beauty of this hosta. The clumps are topped with 28" tall spikes of near-white flowers in late spring.
