Arie Blom

Daylily Breeder

Has there ever been a new plant hybrid so aptly named? Improved White Feather Hosta is a major update of a very popular hosta beloved for its bright, colour-changing leaves. This game-changing plant is the creation of renowned Dutch hybridizer Arie Blom. Arie breeds hostas, daylilies and other plants at Heemskerk Vaste Planten in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. When Arie joined Heemskerk, the nursery was already growing the original White Feather Hosta for its customers. He started working on ways to improve it, and after five years of research and breeding developed a hybrid that was larger, more vigorous and more substantial. Its leaves still changed from white to cream and green, but were thicker and sturdier, causing the plant to grow more vertically. Its upright habit made the hybrid more sun tolerant-one of Improved White Feather's most desirable qualities!

Improved White Feather Hosta

Improved White Feather Hosta is just that--a variety that is stronger, more vigorous and more substantial than its predecessor. Striking foliage opens as white before developing green veining, then changes to a blend of cream and green. Yields three months of lavender, bell-shaped blooms.
