Hosta Silver Kabitan will form a small plant of just 6"-8" in height, with a spread of up to 18", at maturity. The American Hosta Society registered this hosta in 1986 under the name Hosta Haku Chu Han. The correct name should be listed as Hosta Shiro Kabitan. Also known as Hosta Silver Kabitan. No matter the name, this white-centred form of sieboldii forms a miniature mound perfect for the trough garden.  Twisted white leaves with an irregular green edge and very striking variegation. Dainty, striped, dark purple flowers on 28" tall scapes, in late summer. Full shade. Used as a potted plant in Japan. Not particularly sun tolerant or slug resistant.
