Hosta "Humpback Whale" review
The hosta Humpback Whale from Mildred Seaver is at last available to the gardening public. This long sought after jumbo variety is now in commercial production. Humpback Whale once brought an auction price of $725 for a fund raiser. Plants form a monster size dome of blue-green heart shaped, corrugated leaves. The color is best in cool weather and as the heat of summer sets in the leaves will transition to more of a green. Breed by Mildred Seaver, known in the hosta world as “Queen of the Hostas” she registered 96 varieties in her life time….. A must have! Plants produce lavender blooms in midsummer.
