A cultivar of unidentified parentage, this plant was originated
by David Stone of Connecticut and
registered by
Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1988. The medium size hosta grows to about 17 inches high and spreads to a width of 40 inches. Its
leaves are ovate, slightly corrugated and the underside is
covered with a thin bloom. From mid-July into August, medium
lavender flowers bloom.
This
cultivar was named for Peter Ruh's grandson.
In
The
Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) there is an article by Peter
Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium or Miniature hostas which went by
a numbering system that started with
DSM. This cultivar was
called DSM #2 and was described as "Medium-small, green
lanced-shape leaves with thin, white edge. Flowers
lavender-purple."
