 This plant
is the stable form of the streaked cultivar H. 'Neat
Splash' and was registered by
The American Hosta Society in 1986. The plant forms a medium size (17 inches high) mound of
streaked foliage. Its leaves are rounded at the base,
 slightly
wavy and have average substance. From late July into August, it
bears medium purple colored flowers.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "In 1986 The American Hosta Society decided to name and register this sport, which had been
found in many hosta collections. Nearly every specimen of 'Neat
Splash' eventually develops this form. In fact many plants
labeled 'Neat Splash' are actually 'Neat Splash Rim'."
 An article by Warren I. Pollock in
The
Hosta Journal (1998 Vol. 29 No. 1) states that, "...I'm
told there are nurseries that list H. 'Neat Splash' but actually sell and ship
H. 'Neat Splash Rim'..."
