Looking for help with ID

9 years ago

This hosta was sold as War Paint.
I bought it in a local nursery last year.
I don't know why it took me so long to realize it was mislabelled.

I don't have a clue what it is but I do like it a lot.

It is Ghost Spirit for sure.
There was a supplier in Canada (I believe it was Van Noort Bulb Co.) that supplied Ghost Spirit under the name War Paint about 2 years ago. If it was a specialty hosta nursery they should have noticed the error, corrected their labels and requested credit for the mislabelled plants. General garden centres probably wouldn't realize the mistake.

Good eye, Paul.

Vanessa, thanks for the affirmation on ID. I do have Niagara Falls and Bridal Falls, I probably should have realized it could not possibly have been War Paint.
I would have bought it anyway but it's good to have an ID.
