This is a very old hosta cultivar and it still has a following, and for good reason. It has large, wide leaves that are heavily textured, its deep corrigation casting shadows on the leaves and catching dew drops (or sprinkler water!). Leaves are yellow with wide blue irregular edges. Short and wide, it grows to about 12 to 15 inches tall and 15 to 24 inches wide. Flowers stand to 18 inches and are white.
Grow in well drained soil in part shade to full shade to dappled light. Some varieties are listed as being suitable for full sun, but in our hot, dry climate, they all benefit from some mid-day sun protection. Ideally, provide a loamy soil, amended with organic material. Remove spent flower scapes after blooming to encourage more flowering and for a tidy appearance. In early spring, remove spent foliage, taking care to watch for new foliage emerging from the crown. Though not thought of as a "water-wise" plant, Hostas do remarkably well in dry part-shade to full-shade conditions, and are frequently the victim of over-watering, succumbing to crown or root rot.
