There is an image of this
cultivar on the
Hosta Library. From the photo, it appears to be a medium
size hosta with broadly ovate, green leaves and creamy yellow
streaked variegation. This is a form of the
species, H. longipes, which is a non-registered
cultivar from Japan.
Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term iwa as rock, Iwa Gibōshi or
H. longipes. |
