In an article about hybridizing by
Tony Avent in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (1996 Vol. 27 No. 1),  Tony gives the 
following comments on cultivars he has introduced: "H. 'Waving Wuffles' - 
seedling of H. ventricosa   with much narrower leaves and incredible 
ruffling...the clump gets much better with age!"
