Hosta 'Frog in my Throat'

[M-L]  The highly anticipate 'Emperor's New Clothes', a sport of 'Empress Wu', has already turned up a sport of its own.  'Frog in my Throat' emerges in the spring looking much like its parent, with creamy-white leaves lightly speckled with green.  The wavy leaves quickly develop a wide, green margin, while the white centers gradually accumulate more green specks.  Eventually, the leaf centers become more green than white, which ensures the plant will grow.  Hosta 'Frog in my Throat' will form a unique and beautiful mound of wavy and twisted foliage about 21" tall and 40" across.  Catch this one before it hops away!
