This medium sized (17 inches high) cultivar was
registered by
Paul Aden in 1978. It is a seedling cross of Hosta 'Gay
Feather' with a creamy white center and bright purple flowers.
Perhaps because of the large amount of white variegation, it is
reportedly difficult to grow.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Its laggard growth rate and propensity to sport
all-green foliage, however, eventually led to a steep decline in
nursery sales. In fact, it is hard to find well-grown specimens
of the true plant anymore."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Ann
Kulpa', H. 'Gay Feather', H. 'Indian
Feather' and H. 'Sea Thunder'.
Sports include H. 'Gorgeous
George'.
