Hosta 'Night Owl'

This sensational architectural masterpiece brings a captivating aura of mystery to shaded gardens with its large, beautifully proportioned mounded habit. Registered by Dr. Doug and Mardy Beilstein from a wise cross of 'Purgatory' and 'Lakeside Sir Logan,' the nearly round, thick leaves seem to absorb the last rays of twilight with their dark green margins. The exceptional visual grace of this specimen is defined by a narrow, irregular sliver of creamy-white down the center that glows brighter as the season unfolds and extends down into the petioles. Offering superior hardiness and a striking structural highlight, this sophisticated focal point completes its display in late summer with medium lavender flowers borne on sturdy white scapes.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
