An H. 'Tokudama' type cultivar
of unknown parentage, this cultivar from
Japan was imported by
Gus Krossa
and registered by
Peter Ruh in 1981. It forms a large sized (19 inches high)
mound of heavily corrugated foliage with thick substance. It
bears near white flowers in dense clusters from late June into
July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...does not reach
the proportions of most
Hosta sieboldiana types, and could be a hybrid of Hosta sieboldiana x 'Tokudama' or a seedling of 'Tokudama' itself.
Peter Ruh named it for a street near Gus Krossa's home, though
it really was spelled "Samuel"."
Similar cultivars include H.
'Blue Dome'.
