I know that people who read my blog do not like it when I post pictures of hostas they cannot easily find, but this hosta is just too cute not to blog about. Hosta 'Indy Parade Lap' was a convention hosta in 2007. Convention hosta means that it was given to those who attended the American Hosta Society convention in a given year. I attended the one in Indianapolis, and attendees were given either 'Indy Parade Lap', 'Indy Finish Line', or 'Indy Winner Circle'. 'Indy Parade Lap' has long, narrow, twisty green leaves with a a very thin cream colored margin. It's a very vigorous growing hosta, and has great dark blueish purple flowers in fall. If you cannot find this hosta, look for hosta 'Stiletto' which is very similar.
