According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009),
regarding H. 'Bashful' "...observed
in the Wade & Gatton Nurseries collection in 1993; may
no longer exist."
We suspect that the plant that Mark observed
was a different hosta, perhaps a creation of
Van Wade. The one pictured above was for sale at the vendor's area of the 2017
National Convention of
The American Hosta Society.
Hosta Helper will call this plant
'Bashful' (Wade) |
