Hosta 'Great Expectations' Starter Bare Root Perennials. Super Cool Colors. Loves Shade.

Common Name: Hosta Available as bare root or trimmed plug.  Hosta 'Great Expectations' is an award-winning cultivar that showcases dramatic variegation with bold, heavily textured foliage that commands attention in any shade garden. Genetic predecessor to 'Dream Weaver,' Great Expectations delivers that distinctive puckered leaf texture paired with a striking color palette that sets it apart. A large-scale hosta perfect for creating focal points in woodland settings or shaded borders where its exceptional form and coloration truly shine. A slow grower, but well worth the wait. Thick, puckered, broadly ovate leaves are slug resistant. Wide, irregular, blue-green margins surround an ever-changing center; starts out chartreuse in the spring, turns to yellow, then to creamy yellow, and finally to white (colors vary with light levels) Fern green streaks are painted between the margin and center of each leaf; every leaf is unique. Dense masses of white flowers are displayed just above the foliage on 24" scapes in early to midsummer.  Height: 20.0 Inches Spread: 40.0 Inches Scape Height: 24.0 Inches Zones: 3-9 Sunlight: Full Shade, Part Shade Foliage: Variegated, green, yellow, cream Flower: White, purple
