Hosta Garden Treasure Shortia The hairy leaves of Yucca

The hairy leaves of Yucca filamentosa 'Variegata' are green with a stunning creamy white margin that remains bright all year on the 18" tall x 2' wide upright clumper

Where Acanthus mollis fails miserably

coming into growth and bloom early in the year when it can make use of the sunlight before the canopy trees leaf out

we have to beat it back with whips and chains just to keep it confined to its pot

Expect a clump 18" tall x 3' wide in 5 years

Hosta Garden Treasure Shortia The hairy leaves of YuccaThis splendid sport of Gretchen Harshbarger's wonderful Hosta 'Treasure' has blue green centers, surrounded by a very wide golden margin. The giant 5' wide clumps make a truly spectacular show, composed of heavily corrugated, thick round leaves. In late spring, the fast growing clumps are topped with 3' tall scapes of light lavender flowers.
