Mervin Eisel of Minnesota registered this
cultivar of unidentified parentage in 1979. It grows
into a large size hosta about 22
inches in height with a spread of about 50 inches. The leaves
are lanceolate to elliptic-ovate, slightly wavy and have thin
substance. It bears medium lavender flowers in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Visit a planting of 'Chiquita' in
July or August and you'll probably walk past it without taking
much notice to its plain medium green foliage. Step back to
early spring and 'Chiquita' would be the only thing you'd
remember from that day!"
