Hosta "Great Expectations" review
The Hosta Great Expectations is one of the most exceptional varieties ever introduced. Great Expectations is one of our the best selling hostas and for good reason. Plants have large puckered leaves with creamy yellow centers with wide, beautiful blue-green margins. The thick texture of the leaves makes it more slug resistant than many other varieties.
