Give this plant a place in the shade to show off and you won't be disappointed.
Ours, after 3 years from a gallon pot, is easily 30" across and 20" tall.
Beautiful color, form, texture, leaf shape....... let's just say
ABSOLUTELY beautiful in all respects.
Once you've seen it in the rain, cups filling and emptying like a living sculpture, you will be mesmerized.
If you've not grown any Albiqua style Hosta start here.
8 vendors have this plant for sale.
