Registered by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society (BHHS) on behalf of hybridizer,
Eric Smith,
this cultivar is a cross between H. 'Fortunei Aurea' and
Hosta sieboldiana.
The large sized (27 inches high) plant has slightly
corrugated foliage with thick texture. Its flowers are funnel shaped, near white and open in mid-June
to July.
The Hosta Handbook by
Mark Zilis (2000), says that this plant falls into a group in the
Hosta sieboldiana species and consists of "registered
seedlings that have either 'Elegans'
or an 'Elegans' sport (e.g. 'Frances
Williams', 'Northern
Halo', etc.) as a parent. All of these have blue-green
foliage and represent the range of 'Elegans' types that can be
found."
Similar cultivars include H. 'Blue
Angel'.
