Hosta 'Jade Scepter'
 

A tissue culture sport of H. 'Golden Tiara', this plant was registered by Mark Zilis of Illinois in 1988. A medium size, 16 inch high plant, it grows to about 43 inches in diameter. It bears purple flowers in mid-July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...published as a sport of 'Jade Scepter' (Eisel 1989), but sent to registrar as a sport of 'Golden Tiara'; from tissue culture; after observations since 1988, 'Gold Edger' the more likely mother plant." Is that confusing or what?
