Hosta "Moon Maiden" review
This waxy greenish yellow hosta will brighten up the darkest corner like a full moon on a dark summer evening. The robust habit is due to the 'Halcyon' for a father. Many of the old large sieboldiana strengths, except without the corrugation work in conjunction with the easy growing habit of its mother, 'Katrina Jo'. The 'Halcyon' controls the floppy scape habit of 'Katrina Jo' so the medium soft lavender flowers contrast nicely with the leaves.
