It thrills us to offer Hosta 'Key Lime Pie', an amazing sport of our H. 'Squash Casserole', discovered by Minnesota's Hans Hansen. Unlike the gold leaf of the parent, H. 'Key Lime Pie' has a green leaf surrounded by a dramatic, wide, ruffled gold edge. H. 'Key Lime Pie' has the same vigor as its parent, even in less-than-ideal growing conditions, and quickly forms a 5' wide clump. In early summer, the clumps are topped with 20" scapes of light lavender flowers. This hosta is destined for stardom!
