Hosta 'Sandhill Crane'

The exquisite Hosta 'Sandhill Crane' introduces an elegant, architectural presence to shaded landscapes with its uniquely upright and fountain-like growth habit. Descended from second-generation Japanese seedlings, this rapid grower forms a distinct mound composed of exceptionally long, narrow, and slightly wavy medium-green leaves that dramatically taper to sharp points. A fine cream to soft yellow ribbon trims each margin, maturing to a crisp, clean white as the season evolves and capturing filtering sunlight with sophisticated grace. In mid to late summer, the plant extends its structural display upward by launching stately, slender scapes adorned with delicate, funnel-shaped lavender flowers that hover nicely above its striking, narrow foliage.

Incorporate this unique selection into your shaded borders or woodland features by pairing it with delicate, shade-loving ferns, fine-textured variegated sedges, or the rich crimson plumes of dramatic astilbes to elevate the underlying textures of your garden layout.

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
