Hosta 'Fantastic'
 

This seedling of H. 'Sieboldiana' was registered by Marge Soules of Indiana in 1988. The plant grows into a large size hosta about 23 inches tall by around 50 inches wide. Its blue-green foliage is broadly ovate shaped and has thick substance. The near white flowers bloom from mid-June into July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...rates highly for thick substance, good blue-green color and attractive corrugation, but its unruliness at maturity is number one."

A catalog advertisement from Soules Garden in Indiana in The Hosta Journal (1991 Vol. 22 No. 2) offered the following Marge and Clarence Soules introductions:   'Blue Plisse' - $75.00, 'Crinolin Petticoats' - $75.00, 'Kong' - $75.00, 'Lime Krinkles' - $100.00, 'Placemat' - $100.00, 'Sunami' - $50 and "Special Price Fall 1991 -- Tissue culture release 'Fantastic'..." - $125.00.
