Hosta Barbara Ann forms a medium to large mound, 40cm-50cm tall with up to a 120cm spread. Its thick, blue-green, corrugated leaves have wide creamy margins that turn white as they mature. It blooms large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers on 65cm scapes in midsummer. The plant has excellent slug resistance and tolerates partial sun but may scorch in intense sunlight. It grows at a medium speed and can be split every 5 years or so, but probably no earlier. It achieves a lovely shape and size when mature.
