Registered in 1986 as a sport of
H. 'Midwest Gold' by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict, this cultivar was named for fellow hosta hybridizer
and nurseryman,
Larry
Englerth. The medium sized (14 inches high) plant has thick substance and
produces near white flowers in late June into July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "During a discussion with Herb Benedict in his
garden (July 21, 1988), I learned that 'Larry Englerth' actually
was a sport of 'Golden Nugget', not 'Midwest Gold' as Herb had
originally thought. This would make it very similar to 'Spinning Wheel'..."
