Hosta "Summer Music" review
12" tall. Light Shade. Gold and chartreuse margins on green leaves with snow white center. In our garden, the green is almost nonexistent, leaving a mostly white and gold leaf. White flowers. Slow growing. A colorful snow white with gold margin. Med. size, show stopper. This hybrid from Klehm Nursery is a spectacular sport of Hosta 'Shade Master' with a two-tone chartreuse and bright gold edge and a wide creamy white center. Everyone who sees it goes hosta nuts! Hosta 'Summer Music' must have bright morning sun to grow well... no deep shade. The 18" wide clumps are topped with pale lavender flowers in early summer. Very colorful leaves with snow white centers & gold and chartreuse margins. A beautiful medium sized plant with ovate leaves, pure white in the center with irregular margins of medium green, chartreuse and gold. Lavender flowers. A true eye catcher, the pure white centers are bordered in irregular margins of gold and chartreuse. Wonderful! Lavender flowers.
