| Info | =ventricosa 'Variegata'. JN: Kifukurin Murasaki Giboushi. AGM. Shiny green with broad cream edge. Absolutely beautiful. Medium lavender flowers in June. Shiny green, broadly ovate leaves with broad cream to yellow splashed edges. Color lasts all summer. Heavy texture. Lavender flowers with purple anthers. A classic species, green with irregular white margins. Green leaves w/cream edge that pushes well into the leaf. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful of the variegated hostas. Leaves are dark green, heart-shaped and somewhat twisted, with wide, irregular margins of yellow, later turning white. A mature clump is truly stunning. Purple flowers. 25-75% shade. Highly glossy deep green centers shading out to a brilliant and bold cream edge. Lovely shape and neatness of habit makes it ideal for the smaller garden. A very popular variety among collectors. (Plant 28x18) Shiny, deep green leaves with an exquisitely jagged creamy yellow to creamy white border. Purple-violet flowers on 36" scapes. Beautiful all year. American Hosta Society President's Exhibitor Trophy. This is a fascinating plant with its large, wedge-shaped green leaves with irregular margins of creamy yellow. Purple flowers.
