[M-L] A unique sport of Hosta 'Emperor's New Clothes' (itself a sport of 'Empress Wu'), 'Frog in My Throat' offers an exceptional combination of size, substance, and evolving variegation.
In spring, the leaves emerge creamy white with light green speckling, closely resembling its parent. As the season progresses, broad green margins develop while the leaf centers gradually acquire additional green flecking. By summer, the centers become predominantly green, providing the chlorophyll needed for strong, vigorous growth while maintaining an attractive variegated appearance.
The heavily textured, wavy foliage forms an impressive mound approximately 21 inches tall and 40 inches wide, creating a bold focal point in the shade garden. Its unusual color progression and distinctive leaf form make it a rewarding cultivar for collectors and gardeners alike.
