Description
Hosta Dream Weaver
Hosta Dream Weaver is a spectacular large variegated hosta prized for its bold foliage and impressive garden presence. Its thick, heavily textured leaves feature creamy golden-yellow centres framed by broad blue-green margins, creating a dramatic contrast that brightens shaded areas throughout the growing season. As the season progresses, the leaf centres soften to creamy white, adding even more visual interest.
Forming a substantial mound over time, this outstanding variety is a sport of the popular Hosta Great Expectations and combines excellent vigour with striking foliage. During summer, elegant stems rise above the leaves carrying attractive pale lavender flowers that bring additional seasonal colour to the garden.
Plants leaves are cut back from August and will reappear late Spring.
