This medium sized (17 inches high) plant is a mutation of H. 'Fortunei'
and has smooth textured foliage with average substance. It bears
pale lavender flowers that bloom in late July into August. This
cultivar was registered by
Russ O'Harra
in 1981.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), "Over the years I've noticed that
specimens of 'Janet' vary a bit. In the 1980s, most had fairly
narrow, medium green margins, but now many exhibit much wider,
darker green margins. The latter group may just be the effect of
good, fertile growing conditions, but some probably could be
classified as wider-margined sports."
The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000) calls this "...a smaller version of
'Gold Standard' with
thinner green margins."
