Hosta Prince of Wales Irids Vernonia lettermanii is a fascinatingHosta 'Prince of Wales' is a hard to find hybrid of Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' and Hosta montana, introduced by the late UK Hosta guru, Diana Grenfell.

In early June, as the leaf wax starts to melt, the clumps are adorned with long, arching spikes with terminal clusters of white flowers.
