A
large sized (21 inches high) hosta with a cream colored margin, this cultivar
was registered by
Paul Aden in 1986. It is a sport of
Hosta 'Flamboyant'. The
foliage is ovate shaped, slightly wavy and corrugated with
better than average substance. Pale lavender flowers bloom in
July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Its bright variegation and fast
growth rate make 'Shade Fanfare' a popular choice for ground
cover purposes."
