Tony Avent of
Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina
registered this
cultivar in 1999. It is the result of a cross of H. 'Swoosh' ×
H. tibae. The

2001

The American Hosta Society in North Carolina where it was
given to each attendee."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Very sun tolerant even in warmer climates.
Increases rapidly. Easy to grow...deeply rippled
