Hosta Silver Streak Hosta montana sspH. 'Silver Streak' is a collector's hosta that makes a nice miniature mound of uniquely twisted leaves with white centers and a medium green edge. This is a very distinctive, slow growing hosta, but when planted in a location providing early morning sun, it seems to take off. The 8" wide clump is topped with light lavender flowers in early summer. Keep it away from larger hostas that can shade it out.
