This seedling of H. 'Dorset
Blue' is a non-registered cultivar introduced by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict in the early 1990's. It is a small plant with
streaked foliage with very pale lavender flowers blooming in
July.
This cultivar is part of the "Dorset
Series" of hostas.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...has been highly sought since it
became known in the early 1990's. As a heavily variegated, small
sized
Tardiana type cultivar,
it can be used as a source of small, thick-substanced,
variegated seedlings."
