Hosta sieboldiana 'Squash Edge'

Peter and Jane Ruh registered this large size sport of Hosta sieboldiana in 2001. It grows to 26 inches high and spreads 5 feet wide with heavily corrugated foliage with thick substance. Dense clusters of near white flowers bloom starting in mid June.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...a variation of Hosta sieboldiana 'Frances Williams' with a gold edge...To me, this plant has always seemed to fall within the limits of variability in 'Frances Williams' itself."

Similar cultivars include Hosta sieboldiana 'Maple Leaf'.

These 2010 photos come from the Ralph (Herb) and Dorothy Benedict Hosta Hillside, tours and vendors at the 2010 American Hosta Society National Convention in Minnesota, Wade and Gatton Nursery and Arboretum, Toledo Botanical Garden and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
