Registered by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict in 1983, this is a
self-pollinated seedling of a cross
of H. nakaiana and
Hosta ventricosa. It is a
medium sized plant with heavily rippled, shiny leaves and medium
purple flowers in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "At a glance, 'Betty' appears to be a small-sized
version of
Hosta ventricosa
owing to its shiny, rippled, dark green foliage and purple
flowers."
Similar cultivars include H.
'Lakeside Emerald Lights'.
