This non-registered cultivar was
introduced in 1976 by
Paul Aden. It
forms a large mound with typically
Hosta sieboldiana characteristics. This is another hosta which
is associated with some controversy.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), "The plant currently being sold under this name...is
not the same as the one offered by Powell's Gardens in 1989 &
2002 and is also different from the one described in a review of
Paul Aden's introductions in the
Hosta
Journal...The current version differs vastly, being a
small mound of green foliage."
