Hosta Lederhosen Greece first introduced in 1863Hosta 'Lederhosen' is one of the more unique hostas ever hybridized by the late Herb Benedict. This 18" tall x 3' wide clump is composed of thick, rubbery, ruffled, blue green leaves which reminded Herb of leather britches (lederhosen).

In late summer, the clumps are topped with stalks of large, fragrant, light lavender
