						  This is a medium size (17 inches high 
				by 41 inches wide), green 
				hosta with white margins that are ovate-shaped and moderately 
				corrugated. It was registered by
				
				Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan 
				in 1987 and is considered a 
				self-pollinated seedling of H. 'Neat 
				Splash'. Long, funnel shaped purple flowers in August 
				followed by viable seeds. According to
				The Hostapedia by 
				Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...is one of Herb Benedict's most 
				commonly grown cultivars."  
				
				The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states: "Moderate growth rate...Conspicuously margined, 
				paddlelike leaves."
						  
			The following poem by Judy Burns of 
Georgia was included in  
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2010 Vol. 41 No. 1).
