Hosta Mistress Mabel Curcuma we have finally succeeded in

we have finally succeeded in our insanely well-drained crevice garden

It makes an AWESOME specimen that likes it hot and sunny

rounded foliage (glossy purple in winter) that lays flat on the ground

starting in early July with a stunning show of beautiful pansy-shaped flowers that emerge crimson red then morph to crimson violet

This slow-spreader has tiny yellow flowers and equally tiny pinhead-sized green leaves

Hosta Mistress Mabel Curcuma we have finally succeeded inI remember the first time I saw this hosta it was love at first sight. H. 'Mistress Mabel' is the Holy Grail for many hosta breeders a very vigorous grower, great foliage substance, a striking wide white border, great sun tolerance, and very fragrant flowers. This fantastic plant is a must for all hosta gardens. The 30" wide clumps are composed of shiny, green leaves with a wide creamy border. In late summer, the clumps are topped with 2' tall scapes
