Saw a Hosta today at GC, too cold to check on the name but the leaves were completely cream no green what so ever .Guess it grows in deep shade but how does it photosythesize?

    Is it the one called White Feather?
    The leaves develop green streaks as they mature. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    It did seem very strange probably looks good with other Hostas. I wasn't tempted just curious. Will look for the name on my next visit .Thank you

    White Feather  starts white but soon changes. It's not a great variety
