Imagine a clump of the stunning H. 'Niagra Falls' that, as an added bonus, developed a bright creamy center in early spring. If you think that would be nice, you need to add Hosta 'War Paint' to your garden. The eye-catching 4' wide clumps are composed of wavy-edged, large green leaves, which are accented in early spring with a stunning cream center. Even after the center color fades, first to yellow, then to green, you're left with a fabulous hosta. The clumps are topped in midsummer with 4' tall spikes of dark lavender flowers.
