Hosta Emerald Necklace White Garden When winter temperatures drop belowThis bizarre little hosta seems to catch everyone's eye! The upright growing clump is composed of small slightly twisted leaves on long petioles, each leaf appearing to have a "stitched" darker green edge. Each 16" wide clump is topped in midsummer with light lavender flowers on 30" tall scapes. This is truly hard to describe well, so I guess you will just have to try one for yourself.
