We are pleased to finally offer this hard-to-find species hosta from Japan. Each clump 3' wide x 2' tall is a fountain of shiny, medium green, elongated leaves. In early summer, the clumps are topped with purple flowers on 40" scapes. The species name, "pachyscapa", means thick scape, referring to the flowering scape that can exceed 1/2" in diameter!
