Duchess

Hosta "Duchess" review

5" tall. Light Shade. Medium green with a whitish yellow margin. Wavy. Purple flowers. This wonderful edger from the late Bob Savory is a hybrid of Hosta nakaiana. The vigorous growing small clump to 11" wide is perfect for a woodland border. The lance shaped dark green leaves are surrounded by a distinctive creamy border. In late spring, the clumps are topped with purple flowers on 18" scapes. A beautiful clump with dark green leaves and showy white margins; purple flowers. Forms a round and compact mound. The flower stems have beautiful vestigial leaves and are laden with many medium purple flowers in early summer.
