This
plant was originated by
Dr. Charles Purtymun at
Walden West Nursery in Oregon. According to
The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000), "...registered as an
open-pollinated seedling of
H. 'Elegans'
(Eisel 1988), but described as a hybrid of
H. 'Elegans'× H. montana and a sibling to 'Abiqua Pagoda' (Purtymun and
Hyslopen-pollinated seedling 1988)"
Anyway, it was registered in 1986 and forms a 30 inch (giant size) high cascading mound that spreads to 70
inches in width. The leaves have slight corrugation and slightly
rippled margins. Near white flowers bloom on 5 foot tall scapes in July.
