Hosta 'Jelly Belly'

This upright growing sport of H. 'Jelly Bean' was originated by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan and registered on his behalf by Rod Kuenster of Iowa in 2010. It forms a small size (7 inches high by 22 inches wide) mound of light green foliage with streaked variegation in the center of the leaf. They are lightly twisted, slightly wavy, ovate and slightly shiny on top. Medium lavender, tubular flowers with stripes bloom from mid-June into July.

The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), says that this is a sport of H. 'Jelly Bean' while the registration material indicates that the parentage is "unknown".
