Plant Type: Hostas

Leaves are about 4 1/4 inches long by 3 1/4 inches wide and slightly wavy. Pale purple tubular flowers, light pink scapes, and seed pods. The white center lights up these vigorous, ovate-shaped leaves. An attractive dwarf variety, perfect for the front of a shaded border. Deep green, slightly wavy leaves have a unique, creamy yellow variegation. This sport of ‘Island Charm’ has improved vigor and increased sun tolerance. Spikes of deep lavender flowers emerge above dense foliage in midsummer. An herbaceous perennial.
