Hosta 'Beau Brummell'

[M-L] Like its well-dressed 18th century British socialite namesake, Hosta 'Beau Brummell' will turn heads! This is a hybrid of Hosta montana f. macrophylla x 'Jewel of the Nile' from Dr. David Bowe. The pointed leaves have numerous, deep veins and wide, green, lightly ruffled margins. Leaf centers start out nearly the same color as the leaf margins in the spring, but brighten to yellow by early summer, and can even go to cream in bright light. Hosta 'Beau Brummell' will grow to at least 19" tall and 30" across and blooms in mid summer with light lavender flowers. Only produced in limited numbers, because of the high number of green off types produced in tissue culture.
