Hosta "Nefertiti" review
'Queen Nefertiti'. Hosta 'Nefertiti' is a little known, but wonderful Hans Hansen introduction that was discovered as a sport of Hosta 'King Tut'. The thick, corrugated golden leaves are surrounded by a wide green border, creating a lovely combination. The foliage of Hosta 'Nefertiti' is lutescent, meaning it becomes brighter later in the season. The clumps are topped with 32" white flower scapes in late spring.
