A good-size plant with a beautiful white edge is 'Francee'. Another is
'Frosted Jade', with a paler green leaf; that might look good with the
dark ventricosa and the dark blue 'Elegans'. I stress that these are large
hostas with WHITE not CREAM or YELLOW edges--a PURE white. Patriot has it
too but won't get big enough fast enough.
