Hosta "Bill Brincka" review
'Opipara Bill Brincka'. 'Opipara Brincka'. 'Bill Brinka'. Bright green leaves w/nice yellow margin that becomes more ivory; lav. flwrs. A virus-free form of Hosta opipara, this is an absolutely stunning plant with narrow, upright glossy green leaves and a wide creamy margin. Purple-striped flowers. Bright green with bright yellow-green margin of variable width that becomes more ivory with the season. Formerly known as H.'Opipara'. Due to a heavy infection of a virus Bill Brinks imported from Japan a clone, virus free of Opipara and registered it as H.'Bill Brincka' to distinguish it from the virus infected cultivars. Lays low, is stoloniferous.
