 This cultivar is the result of a
cross of two species, H. longipes x
H. pycnophylla
by
Hajime Sugita in
Japan. It was registered with
The
American Hosta Society by
Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1998.
It forms a medium
size hosta about 16 inches high
with a 36 inch spread. The foliage is moderately rippled with
purple-red petioles. Funnel shaped medium purple flowers bloom
late, in September. The petals have reflexed (i.e. bending
backwards) tips.
