This has always been one of my favorite unique hostas, but unfortunately it is very hard to find. This Eldrin Minks hybrid (H. 'Undulata' x H. ventricosa 'Aureomaculata') makes an attractive 2' wide clump of butterscotch leaves with a contrasting wide green border. The color contrast intensifies as the season progresses. In early summer, the clumps are topped with 20" scapes of dark lavender flowers.
