Hosta "Citation" review
15" tall. Light Shade. This Paul Aden hybrid is one of my favorites and certainly one of his most distinctive introductions. The thick light green heart shaped leaves are surrounded by a very wide pure cream edge. In early summer, the 2' wide clumps are topped with light lavender flowers. Shiny green leaves with a cream margin and heavy substance. White flowers. Small flat mound of narrow chartreuse leaves with a white border. White flowers in July. Interesting specimen. Chartreuse to gold colored leaves with a white margin. Heavy sheen and substance. Leaves have a chartreuse center that changes to green as the season progresses and are surrounded by a creamy-yellow border which turns to white. Pale lavender flowers.
