The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000), says that this plant falls into a category of
"cultivars that exhibit many
Tardiana traits but are
not a part of
Eric Smith's original group." It is a non-registered
cultivar by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict that forms a medium sized (16 inches high) mound of
slightly corrugated leaves. The white flowers open in mid to
late August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "Herb Benedict told me...probably descended from 'Dorset
Blue' or 'Blue Moon'...In
some gardens it has been mistakenly labeled 'White September'
and 'Blue September'...it grows very slowly."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Brother
Ronald'.
