A sport of H. 'Vera
Verde' this non-registered cultivar was introduced by
Paul Aden.
Purple flowers open in August on the 3 inch tall mound.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "I have known about 'Cheesecake' since 1983, but
have only viewed it a few times.
Schmid
(1991, p. 146) described it as an unstable cultivar and that may
be the reason for its rarity."
Similar cultivars include H.
'Little White Lines'.
