 
						 This 
							tissue culture sport of H. 'Loyalist' was registered by 
Dutch hybridizer,
				Gert van Eijk-Bos and
							Walters Gardens, 
			Inc. of Michigan. It  grows 
into a medium size (15 inches high by 35 inches wide) plant with green speckled, somewhat twisted foliage. In July, 
lavender flowers bloom on creamy yellow scapes. 
							
						
						 According to
				
							The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...may be the best grower of all the 
white-centered 'Patriot' type s. It has a fairly 
vigorous growth rate and will clump up nicely within two to three years after 
planting." 
							 
				
				The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states: "Careful placement is necessary to achieve the 
							right balance of sun and shade. Can often stabilize 
							to all-green leaves so frequent division is 
							advised...Differs from its parent in having green 
							flecks in the center of the leaf."
						 
							 
			  
			
						 An article by Warren I. Pollock in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2008 Vol. 39 No. 2) states that, "Paul 
Aden in The Hosta Book mentioned that medio-variegated hostas develop 
plain-leaved forms more readily than margin-variegated hostas. My observations 
are that 'Revolution' develops all-green leaves more readily than 
'Independence' 
does. Apparently this is to be expected because 'Revolution' has more white 
tissue than 'Independence' -- and it's white tissue that wants to "re-green"."
