Descriptions (from various sources):
Named after hosta collector Cindy Nance, this Herb Benedict introduction, a reverse sport of H. 'My Child Insook' first sold for $800 at the 2004 Hosta Convention in Iowa. The 3' wide clump is composed of thick dark green rounded leaves, each surrounded by a wide border of gold, which changes to creamy white as the season progresses.
Herb Benedict's margined form of the Hosta 'Outrageous' features broad, heart-shaped leaves with wide creamy margins. It will form a large, sizable clump over thime.
