This cultivar is a
tissue culture sport of H. 'Elegans'
which is a non-registered plant from
Mark Zilis at Q &
Z Nursery in Illinois. The blue-green foliage has a thin white marginal
variegation and thick substance.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...ranks among the unpopular "drawstring" group of hostas,
i.e. the leaf margins usually tear and turn brown...If you grow
this plant, remove the first flush of growth and the resulting
new leaves will be much more palatable." |
