Hosta lancifolia 'Silverado'

Oops! Sure looks as if this green hosta is labeled as Hosta lancifolia 'Silverado'. Unfortunately, the actual 'Silverado' has marginal variegation. So, either this plant is mislabeled or it has reverted to the species type. We will try to get a true picture next summer. - Mr PGC

This cultivar is a sport of the species, Hosta lancifolia, that has creamy white margins. The other characteristics are similar to those of the species.
