Hosta Memories of Dorothy will form a medium sized mound of 35cm-45cm in height, with a spread of up to 105cm at maturity. Registered by Hideko Gowen and Hans Hansen. It was bred as a specific tribute to the late Dorothy Benedict. In spring, the heart-shaped, heavily veined leaves emerge blue-green with feathered, light-gold to creamy-yellow margins. By midsummer, the leaf centres brighten into a shiny medium green while the margins fade to near-white. Adding to its striking look, the leaves feature highly distinctive white backsides, and the petioles are heavily flushed with red at the base. It will bloom pale lavender flowers in July & August on 75cm scapes.
