'Continental Divide' mid-late season color

Post by HostaDesigner »

I just love this coloring. The plant itself is a little beat up from a rough growing year, but the intricate coloring surrounding the variegation is intriguing. :)

I like that paint-peeling-off look.

Good morning Reldon. This is the original seedling, so I think it's from 1998, but it was heavily divided 4 (?) years ago when I gave two big divisions to Olga. It just gets better and better as the season progresses.
