Maekawa

Med, An extremely rare and unusual hypoleuca type
that is nearly impossible to locate.
Heavy substanced green-gray toned foliage that has loads of tight
crimping on leaf edges at maturity. Being of hypoleuca family, the backside
of the leaves are powdery white.
We have grown it for years, but since it is a slow grower are
only able to list it on
occasion. We have divisions
that were made two seasons ago.
Expect to receive 1 leaf plants as this is the habit of the plant
until settled in for a couple more seasons. In spite of this slow growth, this
is a totally unique hosta that garden visitors always inquire about. Just a few plants to spare.
