2015 Hosta of the Year <\/b><\/p>\n

\"Hosta<\/a>

Hosta ‘Victory’<\/p><\/div>\n

Victory is an impressive plant. It forms giant vase-shaped clumps with large, shiny leaves with green centers and margins that change from greenish yellow in the spring to creamy white by early summer. Victory is big hosta that grows 30 inches high by 54 inches across and produces near white to light lavender flowers in the mid-summer. Touted for its smooth textured foliage\u00a0with thick substance, Victory is a great addition to shady landscapes.<\/p>\n
