Originated by
Alttara Scheer
of Connecticut
and registered on her behalf by the
Registrar,
Gayle Hatley Alley for
The American Hosta Society in
2019,
this cultivar forms an upright growing, large size
hosta about 26 inches high by 70 inches wide with a
fast growth rate. The leaves are a "strong"
yellowish-green with a slightly shiny top, broadly
ovate shape, moderate cupping and are wavy overall.
Some of the foliage is moderately corrugated. Pale
lavender flowers bloom from late June into July on
scapes 28 to 30 inches tall followed by viable
seeds.
The registration
materials state: "...Large mound of bright
yellowish-green, ruffled & occasionally corrugated
leaves, with deeply impressed veins and white backs.
Some convex cupping appears when plant is
mature...Parentage Undisclosed."
The originator made
the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "Emerging like
frosted lime popsicles, Hosta 'Cold Heart' has
rippled and serrated edges on heart shaped leaves
with snow white backs. In shade, it maintains it's
frosted lime color and in sun the frost will melt
and these hearts will glow with renewed passion.
