Hosta 'Woolly Mammoth'

This tissue culture sport of H. 'Blue Mammoth' was registered by Mark Zilis in 2003. It grows over 2 feet tall with a spread of 65 inches wide with oblong to ovate leaves that are moderately corrugated and have thick substance. The near white flowers start to bloom in late June.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...listings of this cultivar keep showing up as 'Wooly Mammoth' (versus the correct 'Woolly Mammoth')."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Golden Tusk'.
