Hosta 'Midnight Ride'
 

Mark Zilis of Illinois registered this tissue culture sport of H. 'Paul Revere' in 2004. It forms a medium size mound and bears lavender flowers starting in mid-July.

 

 

An article by Warren I. Pollock in The Hosta Journal (2008 Vol. 39 No. 2) states that, "H. 'Paul Revere'...also medio-variegated, is like 'Loyalist', or perhaps even identical to it.
