Plantain Lily 'Half and Half', Half and Half Hosta
Hosta ‘Half and Half’ (Plantain Lily) is a small, low-growing perennial forming a cute miniature mound of thick, smooth, heart shaped leaves with pure white centers and wide blue-green margins. This beautiful variegation remains throughout the whole season, making it a lovely specimen from start to finish. Racemes of near-white flowers appear just above the foliage in mid to late summer. Moderately fast-growing, this small hosta makes a perfect addition to patio containers and small gardens.
