Hosta 'Singing in the Rain'

A 2006 registration by Walters Gardens, Inc., this cultivar is a sport of H. 'Blue Umbrellas'. It was also awarded U.S. Plant Patent 19,565 in 2008. This cultivar is very much like the mother plant but with a bright yellow to creamy white margin. The giant (36 inches high) mound has leaves that are cordate and rugose. Very pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers are borne on 42 inch tall scapes in late June into July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "This cultivar shows great potential, as it offers all the good traits of 'Blue Umbrellas' (thick substance, large mound size, and attractive leaf shape) with variegation."
