Thomas Donahue registered this
cultivar (named for his wife) in 1986 as a sport of H. 'Fortunei'.
It forms a large (23 inches high) mound of somewhat cupped, slightly
corrugated leaves with better than average substance. The pale
lavender flowers bloom in mid July into August.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...belongs to the class of cultivars
with 'Fortunei Albopicta' type
variegation. Like most of them, once the average daily
temperature reaches the upper 60's, its variegation fades away...formerly
known as 'Jacqueline', 'Marcia',..."
