Description:
From legendary hosta breeder and mentor Herb Benedict, comes one of the most distinct green leaved hostas ever developed. Each plant produces rippled heart-shaped green leaves which curl upward, while the sides of the leaf cascade downward. Purple bell-shaped flowers open in midseason.
