Wm and Eleanor Lachman of Massachusetts
registered this hybrid cultivar in 1995. It is a cross of an
unnamed seedling of (H. 'Neat Splash' × H. 'Flamboyant') x H. 'Robert
Frost'. The small size mound is 10 inches high and 22 inches wide with
lavender flowers in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "This cultivar honors Eleanor
Lachman, originator of some of the finest hosta cultivars in
existence."
The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana
Grenfell (2009) states in its Hosta Hybrids for Connoisseurs chapter: "Site
in good light but not hot afternoon sun which can
cause "melting out." Slow to increase. A delightful
hosta but not always easy to grow."
