A
tissue culture sport of H. 'Sea
Angel Wings', this cultivar was registered by
Jim Anderson of Winterberry Farms in Georgia in
2003. The mound grows
into a medium size hosta at a height of 13 inches and a width of 39
inches with narrowly ovate, heavily rippled leaves. It bears
pale lavender flowers in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "It has been credited at times to
Robert Harris (in the Hosta Finder) and
Mildred
Seaver (as
'Emerald Island' in Wade 2002, p. 117), but actually originated
in Jim Anderson's tissue culture lab at Winterberry Farms."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Leaves re-flush in midsummer but the color is best
earlier in the season. Divide regularly."
This cultivar
is sometimes incorrectly listed as H. 'Emerald Rough
Cut'.
