This cultivar appears to have an
H. 'Tokudama' background but is of unidentified parentage. It was
registered in 1987 by
Peter Ruh of Ohio on behalf of the originator,
David Stone of Connecticut. The
heavily corrugated, cupped foliage forms a medium to large size mound. It bears near-white flowers from late June into July.
This
cultivar was named for
Pauline
Banyai's granddaughter.
In
The
Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) there is an article by Peter Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium or Miniature hostas which went by a numbering system that started with
DSM. This
cultivar was called DSM #3 and was described as "Medium-small upright
plant, round blue-green, slightly puckered leaves, deep veins, lavender
flowers."
