Hosta "Green Piecrust" review
'FRW #1290'. Seedling found in 1951, named in 1957. Medium green, cordate leaves with a piecrust margin and pointed and twisted tips. Leaves are 14" x 10". 44" scapes with white flowers. An old favorite of ours. A large green with very ruffled margin. Large medium-green leaves w/piecrust, rippled edge and near white flowers. A classic. Dark green leaves with a pronounced piecrust edge, very beautiful in a mature clump. Lavender flowers. Large, neatly ruffled on edge, dense compact mound, lavendar flowers late June.
