Description


Amazing white streaked and spotted Hosta that has thick slug-resistant foliage and an attractive habit. Blue-green leaves are almost circular, slightly cupped, with moderate to light corrugation. The trademark white streaks and spotting becomes stronger with age and is often not present on younger specimens. Considered one of the most marked conversation-piece among Host collectors.

Care


With thrive best in deep organic soils that are moist yet free-draining. Full early morning sun is appreciated but not necessary. Bright shade is best. Although very shade tolerant, Hosta 'Spilt Milk' may grow very slowly in dense shade.
