Hosta 'Ice Age Trail'

This tissue culture sport of H. 'Big Daddy' was registered by Mark Zilis in 2003. It grows to 16 inches high and 3 feet wide with moderately corrugated leaves of thick substance. Dense clusters of near white flowers bloom in late June.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...tendency to revert to more stable forms over time, so culling of off type shoots is necessary...good plant for breeding thick-substanced, variegated seedlings."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Dorothy Benedict'.
