Hosta 'Rippled Honey'

The result of a cross of Hosta ventricosa x Hosta plantaginea, this cultivar was developed by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict and registered by Peter and Jane Ruh in 2006. The heavily rippled foliage forms a mound about 21 inches high and 50 inches wide. Its leaves are narrowly ovate with good substance. Fragrant, medium purple flowers bloom in August.

Similar cultivars include H. 'Invincible'.
