This hybrid of Hosta sieboldiana
'Dorothy
Benedict' and Hosta montana 'Chirifu'
was registered by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict
and Nancy Krul in 1991.
It forms a large sized (21 inches high) plant that, according to
The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000), is "...reminiscent of 'Sagae';"
The leaves are moderately wavy, corrugated and have thick
substance. It sports very pale lavender flowers in late July
into August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "As a garden plant, I think of 'My
Friend Nancy' as being akin to a medium-sized version of
'Sagae'."
