Hosta 'White Feather'

19 years ago

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a plant of this hosta? I recently saw a picture of it from a Belgian garden by way of a New Zealand website, but I haven't been able to locate it anywhere. Of course, I need a supplier in Canada or one from the States who ships to Canada. The plant emerges from the ground all white and stays that way until later in the growing season, when it gradually greens up. It would be just great for a dark spot in my garden among the wild ginger!

Cheers,

Gord

Naylor Creek nursery, Chimacum, WA is listed for it in 'The Plant Locator - Western Region' so it would seem to be present in North America. Try naylorcreek.com.

With so many hostas having been and continuing to be selected and introduced on this continent if you can't get that specific one maybe there is another, similar one that you can get.

Thanks, bboy, for the info. I now have the nursery bookmarked and I plan to email them to see whether or not they ship to Canada.

Cheers,
