Hosta ‘Dream Queen’
Description
Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form sturdy mounds of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This midsized specimen selection has rounded blue-green leaves with a streaky ivory-white center. White flowers appear in July. Protect from hot afternoon sun to prevent scorching. Clumps may be easily divided in the spring or fall. A sport of ‘Great Expectations’, this has a similar appearance to ‘Thunderbolt’.
