Korean Snow Hosta

Hosta ‘Korean Snow’ — commonly known as Korean Snow Hosta — is a medium-sized perennial valued for its clean green leaves edged with bright white margins that create a crisp, luminous appearance in shaded gardens. The foliage forms a neat mound with slightly pointed leaves and a refined texture, while pale lavender flowers rise above the foliage in midsummer, adding soft seasonal interest.
