Species - Hosta pycnophylla

This medium sized (19 inches high) species of hostas from Japan has an intense white bloom on the bottom of the leaves. The striped flowers are medium lavender and appear in mid-August to September.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Since Hosta pycnophylla is native to only a few Japanese islands, it is remarkable that it has become such an important breeding plant...Traits that Hosta pycnophylla seedlings exhibit include recumbent scapes, white floral bracts, an intensely white bloom on the leaf underside, and good marginal rippling."
