Hosta Spinning Wheel Alocasia 'Fort Knox' x H

'Fort Knox' x H

tight patch of stalks in 5 years

evergreen Asian clumper has become one of our all-time favorite ferns

although they also perform well in woodland garden conditions on slightly acidic soils

The clumps are topped with sturdy 30" scapes of lavender flowers in early summer

Hosta Spinning Wheel Alocasia 'Fort Knox' x HI was impressed the first time I saw this spectacular H. 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa' mutation and have long wanted to have enough to offer. This 1986 Mildred Seaver creation makes a striking 4' wide mound of exquisite, thick, round, corrugated foliage of bright gold surrounded by a wide, dark green border. H. 'Spinning Wheel' emerges green, and brightens as the spring continues into the attractive pattern that will last the remainder of the summer.
