A sport of H. 'Tall Boy', this
cultivar was originated by
Franc & Sally Freeman and registered
by
Rod Kuenster of Iowa in 2006. It grows
into a large size hosta about 19 inches in height
with a spread of 66 inches. The leaves are narrowly ovate, wavy
and have deep veins. Its pale lavender flowers bloom in July. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...found this in a shipment of 'Tall Boy'
plants...definitely is a 'Fortunei'-type, but I'm not sure that
it is out of 'Tall Boy' due to differences in foliage appearance
and flowering habits."
