Tony Avent of
Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina
registered this hybrid of H. 'Masquerade' × H. 'Invincible' in 1999. The plant grows
into a small size hosta about 9 inches in
height by 21 inches in width. Its leaves are dark green with a
white marginal variegation. They are moderately wavy and
narrowly ovate. It bears purple flowers from mid-August into
September but is sterile so does not set seeds.
The
Book of Little Hostas (2010) says:
"Will grow well in early morning sun. Ideal for the woodland walk
and an excellent plant for the trough and raised bed."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states: "Makes a useful edging plant. Contrasts well with
larger hostas in a border. Often exceeds its registered
dimensions...Green-flecked leaf margins and a leaf tip that can be
conspicuously curved."
