'Grecian Vase' × H. 'Komodo Dragon'. The broad leaves open in a distinctive celery green and lighten to yellow through the season, while the darker green veins hold their colour and create a striking contrast that makes the foliage read like a fingerprint — unmistakably individual. Leaf margins are ruffled and wavy with a sharp, twisted tip that adds a refined, detective-worthy detail. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9. Use it as a collector's accent or a textural focal point in a shaded or partially sunny border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCelery Green to Yellow Lutescent Shift:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaves open in a fresh celery green and lighten gradually to yellow through the season, with the darker green veins holding their colour to create a bold, two-tone contrast that deepens as the foliage matures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStriking Dark Vein Contrast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prominent green veins stand out against the lightening celery-to-yellow leaf surface, giving 'Sherlock' a distinctive, almost graphic quality that rewards close observation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuffled Wavy Margin with Twisted Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad leaves are edged with a nice ruffle and wavy margin that ends in a sharp, twisted tip — a refined detail that sets this cultivar apart from standard medium hostas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSemi-Upright Unique Clump:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forms a distinctive semi-upright mound 43 cm (17\") tall and 76 cm (30\") wide that holds its architectural presence throughout the season without flopping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrecian Vase × Komodo Dragon Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cross of two bold parent cultivars gives 'Sherlock' its broad leaf scale, ruffled texture, and the lutescent colour journey that makes it a genuinely mysterious and rewarding garden plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.941%; height: 97.969px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.3927%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.1885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.3927%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSize (H × W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.1885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e43 cm × 76 cm (17\" × 30\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.3927%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.1885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e3–9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.3927%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.1885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCelery green to yellow (lutescent) with dark green veins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25.3927%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eLight Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 72.1885%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePartial to full shade\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 'Sherlock' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and the celery-to-yellow colour journey is most dramatic with dappled morning light — the kind of light you'd find filtering through the mature maples in a Charlottetown, PEI cottage garden in July. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and verify the characteristic dark vein contrast and ruffled twisted tips before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Dalton selection, confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hosta Choice Gardens | Canada","offers":[{"title":"Trade 1 gallon","offer_id":50988933284092,"sku":"S-1730-1G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4.7\" pot","offer_id":50988933316860,"sku":"S-1730-4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8249\/6764\/files\/hosta-sherlock-celery-green-lutescent-ruffled-twisted-tip-medium-hosta-dalton-5304650.jpg?v=1786937107","url":"https:\/\/www.hostachoicegardens.ca\/en-ca\/products\/hosta-sherlock-dalton-grecian-vase-komodo-dragon","provider":"Hosta Choice Gardens ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
