Plant Type: Hostas

Surely fit for royalty, this queen of the shade garden forms a majestic mound of cream to near-white leaves with broad, long-lasting blue-green margins and a dash of green jetting between the two. The leaves are nice and thick, making them less attractive to slugs. Thick, pointed leaves have white centers and nice, wide blue edges. In the heat of summer, the white centers can become clouded with blue-green, but the spring and early summer coloration make a classy-looking plant. Pale lavender flowers top the whitish green scapes just above the foliage in midsummer. Grows slowly and performs best with some morning sun.
