Hosta 'Dixie's Memory'
Butterfly IconHummingbird Icon

Plant Type: Hostas

This hosta has a big impact for a fairly small clump. It has green leaves with grey streaks that jet from the cream margins to the midrib. The leaves are folded with wavy margins. The hybridizer remarks as to how deeply lobed the base of the leaf is. The cordate base and folded leaf assures that any drop of water that hits the leaf will drain down the petiole. Hybridized by Gary Myers and named for his wife. It has pale lavender flowers in early summer.

Marginally variegated, slightly wavy, heart-shaped leaves. Lobes fold to a deep “V” drawing the leaf inward as well. Folded green leaves with a wide creamy-yellow and wavy margin.
