Originated by Bob Balitewicz of Indiana, this non-registered cultivar is of unidentified parentage.

Joanna Kovalcsik of Michigan sent us the following comment about a visit she made to Bob's garden: "He gave me a piece of a hosta called 'Grand Calumet River'. I'm not sure I have it anymore, but I do know that he had such a hybrid and that it was of mammoth size in his woodland garden. I personally saw it as he was digging a piece for me."
