InfoBill Silvers has a long history of supporting causes he believes in with his hosta introductions. As a prostate cancer survivor, Bill has dedicated his latest plant with a purpose to support Prostate Cancer Awareness.
The streaked form of 'Lakeside Looking Glass' (named 'Lakeside Reflecting Glass') is one of the most asked about hostas. This stabilized sport should be just as attractive, but in a less chaotic manner! The deep green leaves are almost round and as smooth and glossy as polished marble! Each leaf is circled by an undulating yellow margin that turns white by mid summer.
Hosta 'Charity' is worthy of being in every garden and will form a low, showy mound about 10" high and 24" across.
Fertile, lavender flowers open in late summer.
