According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar was "...obtained by
Frances
Williams from the garden of Grace Sturtevant of Wellesley,
MA in the 1930s." It was registered by
Peter and Jean Ruh in
2005. Typical of an Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' type
hosta, it forms a large size mound of heavily corrugated foliage.
Zilis continues "This plant has been listed most often as
'Sturtevant' but the permutations 'Sturdevant' and 'Sturdivant'
can also be found...mainly of historical interest."
