A
tissue culture sport of Hosta nigrescens 'Elatior',
this cultivar was registered by
Mark Zilis
in 2003. This giant (38 inches high) semi-upright plant has leaves
that are cupped at the base, wavy with smooth texture. Near
white flowers bloom in mid July into August.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...is one of the finest sports
found in my company's
tissue culture lab. It certainly
helps that its mother plant, 'Elatior', is an outstanding hosta
with a large mound size, vase-shaped habit, shiny leaves, and
tall flower scapes...certainly the rival of 'Sagae'
and 'Liberty' as a giant,
variegated mound of foliage."
