Plantain Lily 'White Feather', White Feather Hosta
Noted for the unique color of its foliage, Hosta ‘White Feather’ (Plantain Lily) is an upright, clump-forming perennial forming an open mound of thin, prominently veined leaves, emerging pure white in spring and gradually turning mottled and streaked light green. Matt above and shiny below, the striking leaves of this foliage plant add drama in gardens or containers. Racemes of lavender-purple flowers appear above the foliage in midsummer. Slow to moderate grower, the unusual foliage is vulnerable to pest damage.
