Hosta 'Carrie Ann'

The two plants shown on this page are clearly labeled Hosta 'Carrie Anne', however, that cultivar is supposed to have a white margin. Also, these hostas appear to be too large. Either these plants are mislabeled or they have reverted (i.e. lost their variegation) and grown a bit. Hmmmmm - Mr PGC

In 1988 Peter Ruh registered this cultivar of unknown parentage on behalf of David Stone. It grows about 9 inches high with a spread of 24 inches. The leaves are slightly wavy and it bears pure white flowers in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...has always been a favorite of mine for its combination of white-margined foliage and white flowers in late summer. It can be used as a ground cover or edging plant."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Louisa' and H. 'Snow Mound Variegated'.

These 2010 photos come from the Ralph (Herb) and Dorothy Benedict Hosta Hillside, tours and vendors at the 2010 American Hosta Society National Convention in Minnesota, Wade and Gatton Nursery and Arboretum, Toledo Botanical Garden and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
