Hosta 'Wide Brim' has dark green, oval heart shaped leaves
with wide irregular margins of buttery yellow.  It has a nice
mounding habit. 'Wide Brim' prefers more shade than other
varieties and tolerates very little sun.  Pale lavender flowers
are produced on 24" scapes in mid to late summer.   A real
eye catcher!
