Info | 2001 National Convention hosta in Raleigh, NC. This new hybrid of H. 'Swoosh' x H. tibae is a phenomenally vigorous plant with glossy long dark green leaves, each surrounded by a wide butterscotch-yellow border that holds all season. H. 'Carolina Sunshine' makes a stunning 40" wide clump, which is topped in July with 20" scapes of medium lavender flowers. |
