Originated by Unknown in England, this non-registered cultivar is a sport of H. 'Frances Williams'. It is a large size hosta about 22 inches high by 36 inches wide with blue-green foliage that has a yellow marginal variegation. The flowers are near white.

According to the Mickfield Hostas website, "As this cultivar matures it looks more like the parent only smaller in stature and with more twisting to the leaves. Give this cultivar plenty of shade as it is prone to scorching."  

Derek Cox was a long-time gardening broadcaster and nurseryman in England. Also, "scorching" refers to spring desiccation, a common problem of many 'Frances Williams'-type hostas.
