Hosta 'Spilt Milk' is generally recognized as one of the most unique hostas ever introduced. This Hosta 'Tokudama' hybrid makes a stunning clump of blue-green cupped foliage. The foliage is highlighted by an unusual assortment of streaking and misting in the center of each leaf. This patterning is distinct from the typical unstable streaking found in variegated hostas. In late spring, the 4' wide clumps are topped with attractive, 20" tall scapes of pure white flowers.
