| Info | 16" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade. Here is one of the truly great hostas that has slipped through the proverbial cracks. H. 'Iron Gate Delight' has 5" long oval leaves with a very dramatic border that emerges gold, then changes over to cream. This vigorous grower makes a spectacular 2' wide clump that is enhanced further with extremely fragrant lavender flowers on 2' scapes in mid summer... basically an improved H. 'So Sweet'! |
