Hosta "Fortunei Albopicta" review
AGM. Lustrous yellow chartreuse centers with pure dark green irregular margins. Turns soft green in summer. Long narrow pointed leaves. 25 - 75 % shade. Some undulations, glaucous below. Light lavender flowers in September. Light yellow-green leaves with a deep green margin in the spring, the center of the leaf slowly turns green as the season progresses; lavender flowers. Pale creamy yellow leaves with wide, irregular mid to dark green margins, turning all green in summer. Its spring coloring is spectacular in masses. Called the 'Chelsea Hosta' in Britain because it is used so extensively at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Lavender flowers. Light yellow-green foliage with a dark green border forming a dense mound. Turns all green by summer. Lilac-white flowers July-mid-August.
