 This cultivar from
Tony Avent of
Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina
is the result of a series of crosses. First, H. 'Swoosh' Ă— the species,
H. longissima. The resulting seedling was then crossed
with H. 'Red Neck
Heaven' and the resulting seeding was finally crossed with
H. 'Elvis Lives'. Whew!
What a family history. H. 'Deliverance' was registered by Tony in 2005. It grows
into a medium size hosta about 12
inches in height with twisted foliage that is heavily rippled. It
bears lavender flowers in July.
