Hosta sieboldiana 'Borwick Beauty'

This cultivar is a sport of Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' that was registered by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society (BHHS) on behalf of Graham and Betty McBurnie in 1988.

The mound rises to a height of 24 inches and a width of 57 inches with leaves that have a thick substance and are moderately corrugated. Near white flowers bloom in mid June.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The unfortunate tendency of 'Borwick Beauty' to develop the spring desiccation burn problem mars the beauty of this outstanding hosta."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Color Glory', H. 'DuPage Delight' and H. 'George Smith'.
