Hosta ID

9 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out what the hosta is in the photo below, which was used (but not named) in this article from This Old House: https://www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/grow-lush-shade-garden-hostas. I'm dying to get a curly variegated hosta that doesn't have white.

Thanks!

My guess is Geisha grown in a lot of shade. A picture of the whole plant would help.

That's a great guess! I was looking at my Geisha today and wondering if something so subtlety colored could ever be impressive.
