Hosta "Little Caesar" review
A new introduction from Sandra Bond of Goldbrook Plants fame in Great Britain and probably one of the best minis we've seen. The 3" long leaves have a creamy-white center and a wide green border that is slightly rippled, they're also lightly twisted. Sandra says "looks like a tiny Hosta 'Whirlwind'". Topped with pale lavender flowers on 10" scapes that appear midsummer. Great substance. A timely donation here from our friends on the West coast, this was the feature plant in Warren Pollock's recent article in the latest Journal. In short it's a small plant with white centers that is a strong grower. It's a seedling with 'Breeder's Choice' as the pod parent, and is the first time offered in the US.
