Hosta 'Peter Ruh'

A reversed tissue culture sport of H. 'Paul's Glory', this hosta was registered by Q&Z Nursery and Mark Zilis in 1999. It forms a large sized (24 inches high) mound that has gold margins and green centered foliage. The flowers are pale lavender and appear in mid-July to August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "I named this cultivar to honor my good friend, Peter Ruh, who has long been a leader in the world of hostas.".

Similar cultivars include H. 'Glory Hallelujah'.

Oops! Sure looks as if the green plant below is labeled as H. 'Peter Ruh'. Unfortunately, the actual 'Peter Ruh' is the one shown above. So, don't always believe the labels even at AHS Hosta Gardens. - Mr PGC
