Hosta "Donahue Piecrust" review
'Donahue's Piecrust'. 22" tall. Light Shade. A classic, large green, flat leaf with fluted edge. One of the best. This stunning green leaf hosta is both a great garden subject and the parent of many great hybrids. The 30" wide mounds are layered with heavily rippled deeply veined green leaves. In mid summer, the clumps are topped with 3' scapes of white flowers. For hosta breeders, this has proven to be a superb parent for wavy edges. One of the best with a piecrust edge, medium green leaves w/white flwrs. Large dark green leaves with heavily rippled edges. One of the best breeders for piecrust edges. Extreme piecrust fluting around the edges of the large, dark green leaves. Near-white flowers.
