This cultivar is an
open-pollinated hybrid of
(H. 'Halcyon' ×
H. 'Spoons') × (H. 'Breeder's Choice'
× Unknown) was registered by
Dr. Doug and Mardy Beilstein of Ohio in 2009. The upright mound grows to
a large size about 19 inches in
height and a spread of 43 inches. Its dark green foliage is very shiny on
top and bottom, deeply cupped, heavily corrugated and nearly
round with a cordage base. The tubular flowers bloom from
mid-July into August. From the
Field Guide to Hostas by Mark Zilis (2014), "Doug and Mardy Beilstein neatly combined cupping,
corrugation and a dark green leaf color along with a
vase-shaped mound habit in this cultivar. In sum,
'Cup of Grace' is a tremendous plant!"
The originator made the following comment on the
Fraternal Order
of Seedy Fellows website: "Deeply cupped
and rugosed dark green leaves all point to the sky.
Certainly cups from above. Pure white flowers just
above the mound make a stunning contrast. Available
spring 2010."
