Walters Gardens,
Inc. of Michigan registered this
tissue culture sport of H. 'Candy Hearts' in 1988. The green foliage has white medial
(center) variegation on this small size (10 inches high by 18
inches wide) plant. Its leaves tend
to be very ruffled as the clump matures. Pale lavender flowers
bloom in July. According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009), "It has not been a successful garden plant, no doubt due to
its white-centered foliage."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states in its Hosta Hybrids for Connoisseurs chapter: "Very
slow to increase. Requires careful cultivation...Leaves become much
wider over the years (although the plant was named when it was
in its juvenile phase).
