An
open-pollinated seedling of
the species, H. hypoleuca, this cultivar was registered
by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1991. It forms a
large size, 20 inch high mound with leaves
of better than average substance. The leaves are slightly
rippled but are not corrugated. The thick bloom appears on both
the top and the bottom of the leaves. It is late flowering plant
with medium lavender blooms appearing in August and September. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...a favorite of collectors and nurserymen due to its bright
blue foliage color and good growth rate. It came from the same
group of seedlings as 'Thor' (green) and 'Lemon Meringue' (gold)."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Leaves have exceptionally thick, white
undersides."
