The
American Hosta
Society registered this cultivar on behalf of the
originator,
Frances Williams in 1986. It is a seedling of H. 'Fortunei
Gigantea' which forms a giant (30 inches high) mound of
rippled dark green foliage. Many very pale lavender flowers
appear in June and July.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), "Frances Williams introduced the term "piecrust" to
the world of hostas through 'Green Piecrust'. This
characteristic, of course, describes the many ripples along the
leaf margin and has become a much desired trait amongst
hybridizers."
