Hosta 'Snow Flakes'

The American Hosta Society registered this plant on behalf of Frances Williams in 1986. This plant and H. 'Lavender Lady' came out of the same seed crop of a cross between Hosta sieboldii and Hosta plantaginea that she made around 1948, according to The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000).

A medium sized (14 inches high) mound of elliptic shaped, smooth textured foliage, this cultivar has funnel shaped, pure white flowers in August.

Similar cultivars include Hosta sieboldii 'Alba', H. 'Snow Mound' and H. 'White Mule'.
