Jim Hawes Hosta | Unique Foliage, Striped Bluish-Purple Flowers

Description

A unique homage to Jim Hawes

This seedling of H. pycnophylla is named for an ardent hosta enthusiast, Jim Hawes. This particular variety honors his love for hostas with its distinct and unusual appearance. Each leaf bears tiny ripples and curled tips, giving it a quirky charm that distinguishes it from other varieties.

Colour changes throughout the season

Initially, the foliage greets the spring in a bright, slightly chartreuse yellow hue. As days go by, the leaves gently shift towards a richer chartreuse, offering visual delight as they mature. By season's end, the colour settles into a refreshing limey chartreuse, resisting any shift to darker green tones.

Delicate flowers with rare seeding

The flowering aspect of this seedling is another attractive feature. It produces bluish-purple striped blooms that add a dash of elegance. Despite their striking appearance, these flowers seldom set seed, making this plant a unique addition without prolific spread concerns.
