Hosta 'Hudson Bay'
aka SHADOWLANDS® 'Hudson Bay'

A hosta which was granted a U.S. patent in 2013 after being registered in 2012 by Walters Gardens, Inc. of Michigan. The new cultivar was discovered by Linda C. Veldeman as a tissue culture sport of H. 'Eskimo Pie'. It is a large size (22 inches high by 30 inches wide) plant similar to the mother plant but has much narrower creamy white medial (center) variegation in its dark green leaves. The foliage is moderately corrugated, slightly wavy, broadly ovate and has a glaucous bloom on top. Near white, tubular flowers bloom from June into July.

This plant is part of the SHADOWLAND group of hostas from Walters Gardens, Inc.
