This non-registered cultivar of
unidentified origin forms a medium size mound with deeply lobed leaf
bases and slight rippling along the margin with a curled tip.
Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "There is some controversy about
the exact origin of this plant. The story starts with 'Grecian
Lace'. It was marketed as a variegated sport of 'Grecian Vase',
a plant most hosta aficionados had never heard of.
Jim Schwarz (Dubuque, Iowa) researched the origins of 'Grecian Vase' and was
told in 2002 that it had "limey-green" foliage. Subsequently,
Jim found a "limey-green" sport in his specimen of 'Grecian
Lace' and assumed that he now had a plant of 'Grecian Vase'. End
of story?...hardly. In 2004 a photo of 'Grecian Vase' appeared
in the
Hosta Library showing attractive, gold-centered,
white-margined foliage. Still, based upon the few sources that
describe 'Grecian Vase' as having chartreuse foliage, the
Hosta Library photo depicts either a margined form of 'Grecian Lace'
or a totally different plant."
