Comments: Similar to ‘Frances Williams’ but its margins brighten much later, thereby reducing the so-called “spring burn” problem by 90% or more; identical to ‘Frances Williams’ in growth habit, flowering, and thick substance; can also be properly listed as Hosta sieboldiana ‘Olive Bailey Langdon’.

I have a relatively large shade garden, with more than 125 different varieties of hostas here in northern Michigan. Olive Bailey Langdon is by far my favorite one. It returns faithfully each year, puts up new plants annually, is quite slug resistant, and stands up to heavy rains and above average sunny conditions. I couldn’t recommend this variety more highly. I consider it a “must have” for the hosta gardener.
