A large sized (27 inches high) mounding plant, 'Northern Halo' was
registered by Walters Gardens, Inc. in 1984. It is a sport of
Hosta sieboldiana
'Elegans' that has
heavily corrugated foliage with thick substance. In mid June to July, it bears
near white flowers on 32 inch tall scapes.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), "Over the years, a number of
'Northern Halo' forms have been isolated...Some with very narrow, white margins
develop the drawstring effect. Others have slightly wider edges that do not
tear."
