Hosta 'Rebel Heart'

 

Originated by Chick Wasitis of Bridgewood Gardens of Virginia and registered by AHS/G. H. Alley Registrar in 2020, this cultivar is an open-pollinated seedling of an unnamed seedling of H. 'Sea Prize'. It is a medium size (14 inches high by 24 inches wide) hosta with a semi-upright growth habit.

The leaves are moderate greenish blue (122A RHS Colour Chart) with a creamy yellow marginal variegation. They are ovate to broadly ovate in shape, have a glaucous bloom on top and are slightly wavy overall with a third transition color between the margins and the center leaf color. Near white, bell-shaped flowers bloom from June into July on scapes 12 to 18 inches tall followed by viable seeds in frosty bluish-green pods.

The registration materials state: "...Nice greenish blue leaves with variable width creamy yellow to white margins held in a semi-upright posture with each leaf claiming its own space...margins turn creamy white mid-season."
