Info | Very unstable, will change often. Scape is short, flowers near flat, and near blue, and highly fragrant. This unusual sport of 'Sweet Susan' comes from Arthur Wrede. Glossy, green leaves are set off by a white center that is speckled with green. The green specks are sparse in the spring, but become heavier as the season passes and by late summer, the center of the leaves is nearly solid green. In addition to the unusual foliage, in late summer Hosta 'Miss Missey' is crowned with large, pale lavender flowers that are very fragrant. Somewhat unstable. |
