This is one
of those cases where there are two hostas with the
same name. One is registered and,
therefore, the "official" version of H. 'Barracuda'
while the other is a non-registered plant and needs
to be renamed to avoid further confusion.
This cultivar of unidentified parentage was registered by
Chick Wasitis of Bridgewood Gardens in
2011. It
grows
into a medium size hosta about 12 inches high with a spread of around 28 inches. The
leaves are lanceolate, heavily rippled, slightly shiny on top and
bottom with a tapered base. It has tubular flowers.
Hosta Helper will call this plant
'Barracuda' (Wasitis)
Originated by
Jocelyne
Bastille of Aux Mille Hostas in Canada, this non-registered cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a small size hosta with green
foliage that is wavy at the margins. The flowers are
spider shape and pale lavender in color.
Hosta Helper will call this plant
'Barracuda' (Bastille)
