Hosta 'Granny's Goosebumps'

Plant Type: Hostas

Medium/large. Amazingly, the “goosebumps” while distinctive, are not the most enticing part of this hosta from Don Rawson. The leaves emerge light yellow and become green in summer, it is a spring gold but it is the form of the clump that is so appealing to the eye. Those large irregular leaves are held out wide creating a spreading clump of low foliage making it the perfect specimen for the corner of the hosta bed.
