Hosta 'Ground Master'

Paul Aden registered this cultivar in 1979 as a hybrid of H. 'Yellow Splash' and H. 'Neat Splash'. It has medium sized (16 inches high) mound with a low growing habit that is often used as a ground cover hosta. Bright purple flowers are borne in late July to mid August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009) this cultivar "...reached its peak of popularity during the 1980s...These days few nurseries offer it for sale and most collectors do not bother growing it."

Similar cultivars include H. 'Cordelia', H. 'Coquette', H. 'Queen Josephine', H. 'Resonance', H. 'Spartan Gem' and H. 'Yellow Brick Road'.
