Dr. Ed Elslager of Michigan
registered this hybrid of H. 'Dorothy
Benedict' ×
H. hypoleuca in 2000. The
giant size (30 inches high by 43 inches wide)
mound of heavily corrugated, deeply lobed foliage bears pale lavender to near
white flowers from late June into July followed by viable seeds.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...has the
Sieboldiana look and can be
thought of as a significant improvement over 'Northern
Halo'."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Slow growth rate. Needs plenty of space as it
eventually makes a huge clump...The huge arching
leaves have attractive variegation and good surface
texture."
