Hosta 'Retread'
 

 

Frank Nyikos of Walnut Grove Nursery in Indiana registered this hybrid of H. 'Undulata' in 2000. It is a small size plant that grows to 8 inches in height with a spread of around 16 inches. The leaves are green with a white marginal variegation that gets greener as the season progresses. Its foliage is narrowly ovate and slightly wavy with average substance. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...undergoes numerous color changes throughout the growing season...makes a poor garden plant and should be treated as a curiosity."
