(Zilis/Vanous) Medium-Large This tetraploid form of the ever popular Hosta ‘Pineapple Upsidedown Cake’ just does one better in all ways. Thicker leaves, bigger flowers, wider margins (blue green in spring settling down to dark green in late summer), and a more robust look overall. In many conversions there is also an improvement is slug resistance as the thicker leaves are more resistant to damage. Lavender flowers Photo: Carol Brashear
