This Mark Zilis discovered mutation of the popular Hosta 'Big Daddy' adds a nice margin to an already superb cultivar. H. 'Sugar Daddy' forms a 19" tall x 3' wide clump of thick blue corrugated leaves, each surrounded by a clean 1" creamy white border. The clumps are topped with 20" spikes of near white flowers in late spring...simply superb!
