Hosta Hampshire County Asplenium (syn: Thelypteris hexagonoptera) Phegopteris hexagonopteraThis splendid introduction from the late Eleanor Lachman is one of the most stunning hostas from her renowned breeding program. Hosta 'Hampshire County' makes a 2' tall x 30" wide clump of large, corrugated, blue green leaves that, with age, develop a 1. 5" wide creamy white margin. There are few hostas even today that can rival the exquisite beauty of this hosta. The clumps are topped with 28" tall spikes of near white flowers in late spring.
