This cultivar was registered by
Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict
in 1994 as an open pollinated seedling of
Hosta
plantaginea. It forms a large sized (23 inches high)
mound with fragrant, pure white flowers borne in August on
nearly 4 foot tall scapes.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...was named to
honor Winifred Englerth, wife of
Larry
Englerth. Not long after its AHS registration, it was found
to be the same as 'Royal
Standard'."
