Mardi Gras

Hosta "Mardi Gras" review

Impressive large heart-shaped leaves of Hosta nigrescens 'Elatior' with the white variegation of Hosta 'Christmas Tree'. Another wonderful example of Olga Petryszyn methodical work. Olga's fine work is seen again with the impressive, large heart-shaped leaves. The size comes from Hosta nigrescens 'Elatior', the variegation pattern from Hosta 'Christmas Tree'. Very shinny with wide bands of creamy white and blue-green centers. The 3' tall scapes boasts fertile pale lavender to white flowers. One of the "Three Party Sisters".
