| Info | A small, rounded leaf, with creamy white center and wide, dark green margin. Great substance & a real charmer. Named for hybridizer Eleanor Lachman who needs no introduction in the Hosta World. The plant has taken years to surface as there were just a few sold in the mid-nineties. The small clump has leaves with creamy-yellow to white centers surrounded by a wide dark green margin. Substance is above average and medium lavender flowers come in July. Has proven to be a very slow grower and needs a fair amount of light but not hot afternoon sun or "melting out" may occur. The plants we are offering are 2nd year TC and although small, they are rooted and growing nicely. definitely a plant for the collector. |
