Hosta 'Ivory Queen' is the reverse pattern of Hosta 'Blue Ivory' discovered by our friends at Walters Gardens. Hosta 'Ivory Queen' makes a small 1' tall x 18" wide clump of powder blue foliage, highlighted by a large, central ivory pattern. As with all hostas with white centers, a bit of morning sun or a very high, thin shade canopy helps to maintain vigor. Clumps of Hosta 'Ivory Queen' are topped with 2' tall spikes of light lavender flowers in late spring.
