A Canadian Discovery — Serge Fafard's Large Blue-Green with Sweeping Creamy Margins
Serge Fafard developed Hosta 'Osiris Trouvaille' — a name that translates from French as “a lucky find” — and the plant lives up to its poetic name. This large cultivar produces very large blue-green leaves edged with bold creamy margins, creating a striking contrast that commands attention in the shade garden. Lavender flowers rise above the foliage in summer, adding a soft seasonal flourish. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it a rewarding and distinctly homegrown addition to any collection.
