In 2000, Peter Ruh of Ohio registered
this sport of H. 'Northern Halo'. A 20 inch high and 40 inch
wide plant, it bears near white flowers in mid-June.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...differs from 'Northern Halo'
only by its misted, green and white margin, but just that makes
this cultivar worth including in any collection."
H. 'American Mohican Halo' is a similar cultivar.

An
article about H. 'Allegan
Fog' by
Warren I. Pollock in
The Hosta
Journal (2002 Vol. 33 No. 2) states that,
"This hosta is an introduction of Ken Herrema of
Englerth Nursery in Hopkins,
Michigan. 'Allegan
Fog' is named after Allegan County where this
nursery is located. Other hostas from this nursery,
started by the late
Larry Englerth, also
have Allegan in their names. In 2000,
Peter Ruh...registered
three hostas for Ken Herrema: 'Allegan Fog', 'Allegan
Emperor' and 'Allegan
Gent'."
