This midsized selection has thick rounded blue-green leaves with streaky cream-white margins. White flowers appear in June. Good slug resistance. A slower-growing specimen type. Protect from hot afternoon sun. Clumps may be easily divided in the spring or fall. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
