Charles Dickens himself would have been delighted to learn that his classic novel shares its name with this fantastic hardy perennial. Hosta ' Great Expectations' has stiff, heart shaped foliage, the variegated leaves of which consist of splashes of yellow & green. This variety of Plantain Lily is early to flower, producing bell-shaped blooms of a pure white colour in June. Like the epic journey of Dickens' protagonist, the plant's growth is slow. However, a happy ending is guaranteed when Hosta ' Great Expectations' eventually becomes an attractive, reasonably slug resistant addition to sunny or partially shady borders.
