This is a seedling of a cross
between H. 'Sum and
Substance' and an Hosta
venusta
seedling made by
Mark Zilis
and Doug Lohman who registered it in 1988. A medium sized (17 inches high) plant,
it has moderately wavy leaves that are generally smooth. It
bears medium purple flowers in July.
According to Zilis (2009),
this cultivar "...offers attractive, very shiny, dark green
foliage, a fast growth rate, and a decent flower performance."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Maraschino
Cherry' and H. 'Temple Bells'.
Seedlings include H. 'Riviera Sunset', H. 'Stegeman's
Dreadnaught' and H. 'Warwick Sheen'.
