Hosta 'Florence Nightingale'

[L] Like its brave and compassionate namesake, Hosta 'Florence Nightingale' is destined to leave a lasting impression on the hosta world. Blue-green, pointed leaves have gentle undulations along the margins and are held atop tall red petioles. One of the largest of the red petioled hostas, and the vase-shaped form shows them off well. 'Florence Nightingale' blooms in mid summer on red scapes. A refined plant worthy of a prime spot in your shade garden.
