						 A sport of H. 'Frances Williams', 
this cultivar of unidentified origin ation was registered by 
Mark Zilis of Illinois in 2010.   It is a large size (26 inches high 
by 48 inches wide) hosta with medium blue-green foliage with golden yellow 
marginal variegation. The center turns medium green by mid-summer.  
						The leaves 
are flat, moderately corrugated, broadly ovate, slightly  wavy and have a glaucous 
bloom on top. Its near white flowers bloom in mid-June into July. Like many hostas of this type, this cultivar may suffer spring desiccation burn. 
						
						 According to
				The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar was "...introduced by
				Paul Aden 
				before 1981; have not been able to distinguish it from
				'Frances Williams'." 
						 In the past, this cultivar was credited to
				Paul Aden of New York but  its status has been changed to "unidentified origin " recently.

						 An article by
			
			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
			Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for 
			Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  
			which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have 
			indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same 
			plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary 
			in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the 
			casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the 
			plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and interpretations.  |
