A sport of a seedling of
H. 'Tokudama', this cultivar was originated by
Van
Wade of Wade and Gatton Nursery (Closed 2019) of Ohio but registered by
Dr. Ed Elslager of Michigan in 2002. It is a medium to
large size plant with blue-green foliage that is heavily
streaked. The leaves are heavily corrugated and have
thick substance. Near white flowers bloom from June into
July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Despite being a descendant of a 'Tokudama'-type, the
overall size is something between a Tokudama and a
Sieboldiana. The word "Tisch"...honors Roland Tisch, a
Michigan nurseryman."
