Malabar

Hosta "Malabar" review

Hybrid out of the breeding program of Doug Beilstein of Mansfield, Ohio. Selected by Mark Zilis in 2005. Large green leaves with a yellow turning to white edge. The name evokes the spice coast of India, and I'll agree that the variegation on this leaf gives it a tropical look.
