I'm sure this hosta goes by some other name, but I only know it as 'Kofukiiwa Fukurin'. It's the Japanese name for this hosta. Did you know that hostas are indigenous to Japan? Over 3/4 of all hosta species grow in Japan. I think it would be awesome to go on a hosta hunt in Japan, but I guess that's is my inner hostageek coming out! 'Kofukiiwa Fukurin' has glossy green leaves with a very thin white margin. The leaves have a slight ripple to them. This one has been a very slow grower for me, but it has been well worth the wait. Pair this one with blue or dark green hostas.
