This cultivar of unidentified parentage was registered by
Eldren Minks of
Fairway Enterprises in Minnesota in 1990. It is a large, semi-upright
hosta with blue-green foliage. The leaves are heart
shaped, wavy and have thick substance. Near white
flowers bloom in July on scapes up to 44 inches in
height.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...formerly called Hosta densa...it was
registered as a mutation of
H. densa, 'Density'
is not related to it. In the garden, it becomes a very
impressive, upright mound of blue foliage."
W. George Schmid in his
Hosta Species Update on The Hosta Library (2010)
says, "This culton is listed as a sport of but that
cannot be since H. ‘Densa’ blooms in September.
It must be a hybrid, which could involve H. ‘Densa’,
but that has not been documented."
