Contains Hosta 'Elegans,' 'White Christmas,' and 'Paul's Glory'
Hosta is the mainstay of the shade garden, its large leaves offering brilliant color and "puckered" texture that increases with each passing year. Very easy to grow, Hosta is ideal for mass plantings, edging, the foundation, containers, and other garden settings, its very low maintenance ideal for the busy gardener.

This collection contains 3 of the most famous Hosta varieties, including the one that began the wide hybridization of blue-leaved varieties as well as a stunning gold-leaved type edgged in blue and a snowy white with jagged green margins. Use them as focal points for the shade, brightening and beautifying any setting.

 
This collection is comprised of 3 components.
 
Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans'
The blue Hosta that started it all, 'Elegans' is 30 inches high and an astonishing 5 feet wide, with glorious white blooms in spring held just above the large, rounded, beautifully scored gray-blue leaves. Ideal for partial shade or dappled sun, it is an imposing presence in any setting, and makes a great hedge, living wall, or back-of-the-border standout! Zones 3-8.
 
Hosta 'Paul's Glory'
Banded by a substantial blue margin, the large, brilliant gold leaves of this Hosta turn a whitish gold as summer progresses. The foliage develops an appealing seersucker texture that intensifies as the plant matures. This is a truly exquisite variety by breeder Peter Ruh. Named the 1999 Hosta of the Year by the American Hosta Society, it is destined to become a classic! 15 to 18 inches high and 26 to 28 inches wide at maturity, the plants are topped by 24-inch flowerscapes of light lavender in late spring.
 
Hosta 'White Christmas'
A comfortable size for borders and edging, this lovely Hosta reaches 2 feet wide and grows 18 inches high, packed with gorgeous white-centered leaves with wavy, dark green edges. Its white bands emerge in spring as a shimmering pearl color, then bleach crisp white and hold their color well through the heat of summer. Unlike many white-leaved Hostas, 'White Christmas' resists burning. Lavender flowers bloom on 18- to 24-inch spikes in midsummer.
