There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo on the HL website, it appears to be a large
size hosta with blue-green foliage that has a creamy
yellow streaked variegation. This non-registered
cultivar was originated by Rick Goodenough
of Massachusetts and is a streaked hybrid of H. ‘Leaping Lipizzan’.
An article by Rick Goodenough in
The
Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 1) states that, “While ‘Leaping Lipizzan’ has some blue tones early in the season, ‘Dover Downs’,
‘Breeder’s Cup’ and ‘Suffolk
Downs’ all have stronger early season blue. H.
‘Dover Downs’ features leaves with a more elongated form and a nice point on the
tip, as well as wonderful wavy edges.”
