'Paul Revere', itself tracing back to the legendary H. 'Patriot'. The broad heart-shaped leaves feature a brilliant snow-white centre sharply defined by a thick forest-green margin — one of the cleanest white-centred hostas available. Foliage is thick and stiff with a sturdy architectural presence and superior slug resistance. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9 and tolerates morning sun better than most white-centred varieties. Plant it as a high-contrast focal point at the front of a shaded border or in a container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Bicolour Definition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure white centre provides a stark, luminous contrast against saturated dark green edges that flame inward, creating one of the most striking white-centred hostas in the shade garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Sun Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Significantly more sun-tolerant than many white-centred varieties, holding its crisp colour without scorched edges in morning light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThick Stiff Leaf Substance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sturdy, architectural foliage gives a bold presence in the border and provides excellent natural resistance to slugs throughout the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTidy Symmetrical Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forms a neat, symmetrical mound 40 cm (16\") tall and 65–70 cm (26–28\") wide — ideal as a front-of-border specimen or a high-impact container planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLavender Blooms on Tall Scapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant lavender flowers on 50 cm (20\") scapes appear in mid-July, adding a soft floral accent above the bold white and green foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 cm × 65–70 cm (16\" × 26–28\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePure white centre with dark green margin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePartial to full shade; morning sun tolerated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dappled morning light helps develop the bright white centre on 'Amazone' while afternoon shade keeps it pristine — it handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 and is a natural fit for the shaded front gardens of Halifax where the cool Atlantic air keeps white-centred hostas looking fresh well into September. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and monitor each division until the signature wide white centre and stiff leaf texture are fully present before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic 'Amazone', confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"4.7\" pot (2nd year plants)","offer_id":47024568959228,"sku":"A-1626-4","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trade 1 gallon","offer_id":48850431475964,"sku":"A-1626-1G","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-amazone-bloom_-closeup-jpg.jpg?v=1744814738","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-amazone-heemskerk-paul-revere-sport","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
