A non-registered seedling
selection by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict, this cultivar grows into a medium
sized (11 inches high) with moderately rippled, elliptic-ovate shaped foliage.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Until about 1997, this cultivar was known as 'Black
Satin'. Herb Benedict changed the name so as not to cause
confusion with 'Lakeside Black Satin'."
Similar cultivars include H.
'Black Velvet' and H. 'Blade
Runner'.
