This cultivar forms a neat,
medium (12
inches high) mound and has heavily rippled leaves with a narrow
white margin. It was registered by
Paul Aden in
1987 as a cross between Hosta 'Amy Aden' and the species,
Hosta pulchella variegated. It has purple flowers in August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...is certainly one
of the most recognizable of all hostas. Planted along a pathway,
it forms a dense, mini-hedge of attractively rippled, white
edged foliage."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Indy Parade Lap', H. 'Rosedale
Alligator Tail' and H. 'Wiggle Worms'.

 This
cultivar is susceptible to
Hosta Virus X. Of course, this does
NOT mean that you should not grow this hosta. Only that you should
learn more about this potential problem and be on the look out for
it. |
