MISSISSIPPI DELTA

Hosta `Mississippi Delta', near-white, 40-42", July. HUGE. Mounds 32"high by 56"wide. Leaves 13"long by 12"wide(16-18vp); rippled, round, blue-green early, green later; deeply lobed base, downward(delta)cupping, a bit smooth substance but still very thick. Scapes appear branched. These leaves go up and horizontal creating that "delta" thought. I guess if you lived on the Mississippi delta or know of it and you're a hybridizer, I think that's how Olga came up with this one?
