Description
Robust, Hosta ‘American Halo’ (Plantain Lily) forms a dense mound of large, intensely blue-green leaves adorned with wide, rippled, creamy-white margins. Masses of funnel-shaped, pure white flowers appear in summer, rising on scapes 24 in. long (60 cm) but the primary contribution of this hosta is the dramatic coloring of its foliage.
