Hosta 'Upper Crust'

Mark Zilis of Illinois registered this tissue culture sport of H. 'Snow Crust' in 2004. It forms a medium size mound about 14 inches high by 33 inches wide. The foliage is ovate, slightly wavy and has average substance. Its pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "The base color fades to light green as summer progresses...vivid contrast between the dark green margins and sharp yellow base color which is at its brightest in early summer."
