Hosta - Dream Weaver
Hosta Dream Weaver, Hosta 'Dream Weaver', is a choice sport of the very popular Hosta 'Great Expectations'.  The large, distinctive leaves have thick substance and very wide 3 blue-green margins that make a dramatic contrast against the creamy white leaf centers. 'Dream Weaver' is lightly cupped, lightly corrugated and has thick substance.  A gorgeous hosta, and the creamy white flowers are just the icing on the cake with this one! It forms a generous mound that really stands out from the rest. This low care perennial is ideal for shady positions.  Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. High-filtered or dappled sunlight is necessary for clean, healthy growth.  Morning sun is tolerable and will help to intensify the leaf colors, but hot afternoon sun is usually deadly to hostas! 'Dream Weaver' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Dream Weaver' will become a favorite since it makes a grand statement wherever it is planted! * Low maintenance * Versatile * Large leaves
