Plant Type: Hostas

This mutation of Hosta ‘Paul’s Glory’ emerges with a green center and green edge in spring. Quickly, the center turns to yellow, and as the season progresses, it transforms to parchment white. The edge stays dark green and provides a dramatic contrast. Each wide clump is topped in July with scapes of pale lavender flowers.
